    hey folks.

    bit of a noob question here. Are the front turn lights "running lights"? To be more specific, when i turn the key to the 'on' position, both thee headlights and both of the front turn lights become illuminated. I know that the headlight is supposed to come on and be a running light, but i'm not sure about the front turn lights. When i hit the turn signal, the both the front and rear turn signal blink correctly, but when i disengage the turn signal, the rear turn light will go off while the front turn light will go back on (so both front turn lights are lit once again).

    i've taken the lights apart and they have dual filament bulbs, so it seems reasonable that they are indeed running lights and that they should be on all the time (aka "running lights"). But i just wanted to make sure...

    Thanks.

    Yes they add more visual body to your bike to make it wider and more easily identified. Chris
