I used to have a daylight use only m.o.t. on my Duc 860 .
You are required by law to display a rear reflector. ( As is a push bike )
After several close shaves of cars almost rear ending me at zebra crossings etc. , I fitted a brake light. I think these are now compulsory on all motor vehicles.
You must have an audible warning device.
You must display a full size number plate when on the public highway and this must be visible from the rear ( You can't keep it in your pocket )
You must inform your insurance company of ANY modifications from the factory specification. Lights,exhaust,indicators,air filters etc. Even if they say it doesn't matter then still fill the details in on your renewal form cos if you run over a 5 year old and you aint told them of the changes they will walk away from the claim.
A safer bet might be to go for the endurance look and bolt a couple of lights on the front which you can unbolt when you get to the track.
I was talking to a traffic cop the other day and he reckoned if he stops you for construction and use and contacts your insurance company to check your cover, then he will ask them about any modifications he can see on the machine. If your insurance company doesn't know about them and says you aren't insured you will then also be done for no insurance.
At the end of the day it's best not to give the cops a reason to stop you in the first place. No lights is an obvious reason for a pull.
Been there years ago and got the convictions to prove it.
