Billy asked:

I have a Yamaha fzr 600 that has been tipped a few times and only has one mirror, plus the only blinkers are on the back. The side blinkers are missing because (I assume) they broke off with the fall. It also does not have a windscreen.

Anyone have a link to things a motorcycle needs to be street legal?

    Headlight, Tail light, blinkers are optional. If you don’t have them you MUST use hand signals. I have very small blinkers (front and rear) that I don’t use very often, but I always use hand signals. Its better to have blinkers for night ridding. I think the law states you must have at lest 1 mirror. On that bike it might look kinda goofy with only 1 mirror. Beck
