yeah but i just had mine MOT'd with no mirrors, no lights, no indicators, full 54mm system and a reflector in my pocket

[Carbon749]

Mirror and indicators are not necessary for an MOT. Lights are not necessary for a Day time only MOT, but, they do like to see a brake light. The cans will be down to the tester, as for the reflector in the pocket ..... thats just naughty

[phil_h]

Mirrors, indicators - I say pah! who needs them!
Lights - huh - cant be arsed to take them off.
Reflector in your _pocket_ ... what ! You're not one of those people who line your helmet with foil too are you ?!

[Lily]

as i said, they were very accommodating

and yes its only a daytome MOT as I only ride daytime anyway and never put the light back on the bike.

The horn works, i have brake lights and rear lights, full size numberplate so its not like they have given out a certificate for something that's unroadworthy

For reference:

Had mine MOT'd at the weekend at a place near St Neot's Cambridgeshire with Termi's on. didn't bat an eye lid.

[Twinfan]

Can someone U2U me that MOT place? Might be useful to me in the future as my 749S has Termis and my RS250 has Arrow race pipes...

By the way, Ducati Manchester are an MOT place so they might not find Termis excessively loud?????

[JPM]

TF you're having a laugh aren't you!

You try getting DM to MOT your bike with termi's, I was told on several occasions by the service dept there that you must have a road legal system or they would fail it.

Even though they'll gladly take your hard earned off you????

[Twinfan]

Had no idea JPM - I've never asked them about it! Didn't realise they wouldn't pass it with Termis. Have you asked since the law changed though? I can understand it when the E-marked law was in place, but now it's subjective I would have thought they would be lenient?

[JPM]

Well I don't need to as I've got 2 years to go now with the 999, but I wouldn't personally give them the business, but that's me personally
