I'm not sure how aggresively. If you get pulled and have any type of attitude they're going to nail you for everything. If you keep it mellow they're going to ignore you basically. You always have a chance of running into that one jerk that'll harrass you just because you're on a sportbike.

The rear signals have to be at the rear of the bike and 9 inches apart.

I know a lot of people who, while on group rides, get those D@mn fixit tickets. Mostly it is up near LA, ACH, Pali, etc... Normal comuting doesn't seem to draw the attention but if you ride in a group they might get you.
Basically from what I have read in the CA vehicle code it states that the signals must clearly distingush your intentions in daylight (300 feet??). I could be wrong because I've heard several people state there is a distance between signal rule, etc but I can't find that...

I talked to the guys at Lee's Cycle and they said that anything other than stock is basically illegal. As for me, I'm running integrated tail (no signal stocks) and my license plate is sideways under my chain guard (no light). I've had cops behind me and nothing happened, but I wasn't doing anything stupid either.

I have the integrated turn signals/tail lights on my bike and I've never had an issue yet. But I also use hand signals when I see a cop behind me, just so they can't say I didn't signal my turn. I suppose they can nail ya for anything, but if you ride normal when there's a cop behind you, you're probably pretty safe.
