    I've noticed a few Bonnie owners have removed the fugly rear lollipop reflector. I'd like to do this on my T120, but what's the legal position ? I thought that all bikes had to have a reflector of some sort fixed to the back of the bike somewhere ? If this is true, could I just get a little mini-reflector and stick it on the no. plate, or does it have to be a certain size ?

    Also, does anybody know how hard it is to remove the tank badge and replace it with the 4-bar heritage one ? Is it just stuck on ?

    Cheers all

    It's an MOT requirement to have a reflector, and with removal of the stock plate holder you need a small one stuck on the new plate lamp or similar.

    Thanks for this. I think Stuart Fillingham’s YouTube videos are a great resource and very nicely put together.
