This is how I understand it: it isn't a requirement to have lights permanently wired on, but it is a requirement for manufacturers to sell their bikes that way in the US. As slinky points out you can get a replacement switch cluster from a salvage yard / ebay in the UK (or buy one new from a dealer if you are feeling rich). AFAIK it will just plug into the US harness with no problems.

Blinkers as running lights.... I think these actually make the blinkers less visible so make an accident more likely... they also make you look like a Harley wanna be :wink:
