My 2p worth...

I have a daytime MOT which was passed with full track kit on, no mirrors and no indicators and no headlight. I needed a brake light, reflector and horn for it to pass acording to the tester.

My theory is that as long as your bike looks presentable and you don't ride like a tosser and if you do get pulled don't be abusive then you should be ok. Mine has been like this for 3 years now and I have had no issues, even riding in some heavily policed areas (North Wales etc).

If a copper wants to do you, it really doesn't matter whther you have the daytime MOT or not imho.

Thanks Lil I tend to agree. Most PC's don't even know what a daytime MOT is from talking to some folk. Watched a police type program on TV once where a guy was stopped mid afternoon on a Ducati as well. The copper had to radio to HQ to get confirmation about the no head lights etc. By the time he got the info back and they had read about a dozen manuals it was dark and the guy had to get picked up by his mate in a van. The PC left with his tale between his legs...result!!!

Daft question, did you let the insurance know about any modifications????????
