Hola amigos.
I'm Leland and I now live in Puerto Vallarta Mexico. Quads are street legal here but there are some gray areas to legality. I have the rack and rear trunk and mirrors. Now blinkers are another story. To most locals they are just a "suggestion" just as is the speed limit, street signs and road markings. Most drivers sort of make up their own driving laws as they go along. However just for the sake of safety and lessen the chances of being stopped I will be adding blinkers. Cops can be a pain in the ass here.
As far as the machine itself, it's great. Much easier to maneuver on the narrow streets of most small towns compared to my Tundra. Far better parking ability and it actually is a smoother ride on most streets than my truck. However is the heat. From the first of June to mid September the temp runs about 95 degrees with humidity at about 98%. I have found that running our Outland 1000 under 40kph creates a lot of heat. I try to stay above 40 and it really cools down between 55 and 65kph.
But living here, I just could't run it at night without adding a bit of "bling". So I have added a photo of our machine taken at dark.
As they say, "When in Mexico do as the Mexicans do."
We added LED lights. The lights are from Boogie Lights (5mm). They are wired into the headlight and come on when headlight come on. I put quick disconnects at the headlights, before the foot rests and after the foot rest. Easier to remove panels without worrying about the LEDS. I must say it does turn heads.
