[Iconic944ss]

Not a bad fail, three items - one half expected since I tried to set the headlight alignment up during daylight, it was quite a bit out.

The other two items however, might be of interest to others:

1) No separate reflector present.

Even though the rear light lenses have reflectors built-in, its not good enough and if it had not failed on other items the tester would have fitted a stick-on reflector, I've bought one to fit to the number plate.
Can go on the rear number plate as long as it does not obscure any of the main letter markings.

2) No pillion footrests, when a pillion seat is present.

Laughable really, I'm still using my SL exhausts and plan to fit the proper rear footpegs with the low level silencers I now have so that wifey can go on the back if she wishes. I took the existing home-made footpegs off as they look a bit naff but, now have to refit them just for the MOT.
Beware SL owners if you are part way through a seat conversion and have not fitted any pillion footrests - dont go for an MOT 'till you do!

As an aside - the MOT station is computorised and worked fine apart from having to wait 45mins for the printout even though it appears the test was actually finished before this

Nice to have a ride out though!
