Mot - Pillion & Indicators

Hi Repooh, sounds like you have answered your own question re whether it will fail or not. Maybe you could go to your local MOT station and ask the question..... the only other choice I guess is to book it in and see what happens.

Its easy to fit the pegs, get the test, take them off again...
As regards indicators, maybe find a sympathetic bike shop and see how far you can go ..

Looks like the indicators are fine and the foot rests ( pillion) need a cowl on the seat to be exempt. Like you said.

 

Nothing to loose Repooh unless you get pulled by the police on the way to the MOT test and they spot your indicator mod.
Will there be a lot of difference in the indicators dimensions now and after your mod.

 

Is this them?

 

Don't forget with a two seater the chainguard becomes part of the mot.

 

I had my r6 failed because I had the rear seat and no pegs. It needed brakes discs changing so wasn’t to fussed. A year later I go to a new mot station and remembered once I took it in. When it passed I mentioned it and they said it’s bollocks for them to pass it because of that.
