As such, these motorcycles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
The risk
The inability to use the horn or switch the headlight from low beam to high beam can increase the risk of a crash or injury.
