In Texas...I've never had an inspection problem with a flashing brake light on a motorcycle.
I don't think adding a light would be a problem. The loss of the rear reflector might be a problem in some states. Not something I would worry about, I've removed many side reflectors but we do not have inspections.
No Inspections would rock! They check everything here, they even grab your risers and shake them to check the bearings in the neck. At the end they pull out the decibel thing and check your exhaust reading. I think they lowered it again here in NH to 92, I'm glad I kept my factory exhaust !
As much as I like not having to take stuff thru inspection...I really wish some of the piles of junk rolling around here would.
As for the relector, you could very easily just move it under the license plate
Relocating the reflector....
I remounted my reflector under the license plate when I put a Whelen TIR3 where that reflector was.
Reflectors ARE required on the sides and in the back in all states as a safety item in case you have an electrical failure at night.

NOT THAT I'M ARGUING...But...In Texas...I've never had an inspection problem with a missing reflector on a motorcycle. On my VTX, the front fork reflectors had fallen off and the rear license plate reflectors where removed a long time ago.
I would agree with Steve/53Driver that reflectors are required but our lax inspectors don't look for reflectors.
I also did a search for Whelen TIR3 and found them HERE.
Sooner or later, you’ll run across a redneck State Trooper havin’ a bad day...
