| Needs a brake light, number plate and tax and insurance to be road legal. That is with a day time MOT. Your bike in standard guise is the rest that is needed to comply with normal mot speck. If the lights are there they have to work is my understanding, this is also what is needed to satisfy the police should you be stopped.
I watched a traffic cop program a couple of years ago in Avon and Somerset force area. A traffic car stopped a Ducati 996 with a day time MOT on the way back from a track day in summer. He stopped it because it had no lights fitted to the vehicle(it did have a brake light). The officer was unsure if it comformed with the rules. The bike cops were miles away on the other side of the force area and were asked to go and take a look. When they got there they had a look and said yes it is ok for a day time MOT with no indicators or headlights(track fairing) however because it had took them so long to get there it was now nearly dark so the poor chap could not ride on. They just said sorry about that and left him at the side of the road. gits!  |
