Anyone making a removable or remote turn signal system for the Model A's?

Right now I've been using my arm, it comes with me when I leave the car.

Smart Signals. But they're very hard to get.

My arm (the signal) is smart, it knows what's it's doing, the receivers (other drivers) are not very smart, they think I'm waving at them.
Go figure

LogoLites work very well. They bolt on to the bumper bracket. Easy to install. Very easy to uninstall, leaving no residual evidence. The control mechanism mounts to the gas tank with a magnate. Pop it off, strip the wires out and you are ready for the fine point judges.
Note that the LED lights are highly visible, even on a sunny day. Want to signal your intentions ? Don't mess around ... and don't rely on hand signals that are no longer universally understood.

I too give a thumbs up for logolites.

This younger bunch waves me a vulgar jester when I use my arm. I don't think they know what it's all about.

Most soccer moms would give me the single finger salute. Made me wonder what they thinking about my gestures, but, I normally don't like taking time wondering what women are thinking of, that gives me a headache.
Even after installing signals I still had one rear end me.

Oregon requires that drivers understand hand signals. If your dept. of trans doesn't, write them and tell them to. It's basic safety. Most motorcycle riders use them.

When I was riding my motorcycle everyday to work and for pleasure, I cannot recall ever seeing another rider use a hand signal. Not down here in CA anyway. We always used our turn signal lights, day and night. Even off road at times when it got crowded. I NEVER RELISHED TAKING MY HANDS OF THE HANDLEBAR in a turn or crowded intersection.
