[QUOTE="torch, post: 1445118, member: 1295"] Canadian Motor Vehicles Safety Standards, Section 108, revision 7, S10.17 (Motorcycle Headlighting Systems) and table 1-c (Required lamps and reflective devices, All Motorcycles). This is the standard referenced in C.R.C., c. 1038 (Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations) which was enacted under the authority of the Statues of Canada 1993, c. 16 (Motor Vehicle Safety Act). Now, obviously our Canadian statutes and regulations have no force in the US. However, the CMVSS is based on and (with very few exceptions) harmonized with the US FMVSS -- the section numbering is even harmonized between the two. They are generally pretty much identical, with the Canadian version using metric equivalents of US measurements. So I assume that there is some US statute somewhere that references the FMVSS and that the FMVSS has the same basic requirement. But I haven't fallen down that particular rabbit hole. (Side note: S10.17.5 is the bit that legalizes and defines headlight modulation systems on motorcycles. If the objective is to increase conspicuousness, one could consider that system as a legal alternative.) [/QUOTE]
