ok, possible a silly question but as im stil unsure if i am keeping my bike following my crash i cant take them off to find out.

can i still use my curvy sv without side panels? i doubt that i can get it mot'ed without them cause as far as i know they hold te mirors and inicators?? am i wrong??

cheers..mike

Just gaffer the indicators to something. Mirrors aren't held on the side panels, just through them, they actually bolt onto subframe.

no probs with the mirrors plastics arnt required they can still bolt on and you can knock up something for the indicators

I believe motorcycles aren't required to pass pedestrian safety tests.. certainly not looking at the Metalic blue and silver 'Busa that's often parked outside the H-Cafe... DAMN sharp bar ends, loads of spikes, NOS, etc etc...

not required for an mot example= any naked you see

I'm not sure if gaffa taped on indies will pass and MOT (I could be wrong here though). Just knock up a bracket and bolt them on...
