    PA road test turn signals

    Hey, pa riders. I just got my 1980 xs650 cafe racer. Next step is getting my license. How will the DMV feel about me not having turning signals. My bike is registered and inspected. I would just like to know if any of you have experienced this. Am I going to have problems or should I be good?

    Hey, new to the site. I have a quick question. How much should I pay for a restored 1980 xs650. A guy had it professionally redone in a cafe racer style, and I would like to get a few estimates on how much I should pay. All I know about the restoration is it has a custom paint job, frame...
