Just got this SV (my first road bike)

[SV_1]

Here is some pics of my bike.
I'm new to road bikes, been riding motox for past 10years.

Decided to get on the road and just bought this SV650s.

Couple of questions aswell.

1) The rear has been changed and it doesnt have a Reg plate light, will this make it illegal, will i have to fit one as the rear lights are very close to it?

2) Can i get a legal smaller reg plate as it looks a bit off centre?

honest opinions welcomed, I know it needs rising the women who had it lower it but have the original arms to put it back to normal height.

welcome and nice bike mate
it will need a no-plate light to pass a MOT, if you have a letter then 2 numbers on your plate eg D42 ZZZ you can have a smaller plate legaly but otherwise it's illigal

The shed is very secure as it housed my motocross

Welcome.
Lovely bike. I have bought myself a little no-plate light from Hein Gericke and attached it to the no-plate. Passed the MOT since so should be ok. Piccie attached. Hope it helps.

Not legally. Most companies define a garage as a brick built structure. They could throw a strop in the case of a claim (what's new?)

My shed IS brick built and after a bit of clearing out, now lives in there at night. :thumbsup:
