TITLE: FMVSS INTERPRETATION

TEXT: RE: REQUEST FOR INTERPRETATION OF FMVSS NO. 108

In your letter of December 23, 1970, you asked on behalf of the Japan Automobile Manufacturer's Association whether a motorcycle manufactured prior to January 1, 1973, must comply with the location requirements for turn signal lamps if the vehicle is so equipped.

This will confirm your interpretation that "the location requirements for turn signal lamps do not apply to motorcycles manufactured before January 1, 197, and no change would be required for the location of turn signal lamps on motorcycles manufactured before that date".
