seen this thinking of getting one. what you lot think?

[hovis]

they are illegal, as the indecaters are to close together,

[lancasterlad]

are you sure? as it says this:
"all tail lamps are fully E-marked will pass a M.O.T. and fully road legal and even come with built in resistors so your indicators flash at the right rate."

240mm separation is the law.

[lancasterlad]

If you dont connect the leads to the indicators up its a perfectly legal rear light

Yes Dave but not by my law's of taste.

(only joking mate);)

I doubt (& hope not[-o<) that anyone is going to throw the book at you, so you should be fined & should be easy to reconnect original indicators for the MOT (unless you have a friendly one you can have a quiet word with beforehand)

Although yes I have heard that indicators have to be the width of a legal numberplate apart.

I would watch the price & see what it goes for. It's good that it's already got the resistors in it.

Flasher relay is the better way to go than resistors TBH

What diff does it make?

I have some on my pointy and i've never had any trouble with them. Mind you i still have the original indy's on aswell so they all work together. If i still have my SV when it comes to MOT time i'll just unplug the integrated indy's in my lights and bobs your uncle.

I've seen a couple of bikes with those on, one particular GSXR I followed it was really difficult to see the indicators until you were up close behind the bike.

Personally I wouldnt fit them purely for that reason, whether they were legal or not.

Thats also illegal - only allowed one light per side front and rear for indicators

[lancasterlad]

got stopped with the rear light on my bike:smt067 copper never said anything about it.
but still gave me 3 points, 36mph in a 30.

what a **** i felt as i seen him there when i was on my way to work.
