There is a difference between compulsory lights and optional lights. The little washer lights you can buy are optional so the law is a lot vaguer on these, but a headlight (or "front position lamp") is a compulsory light and there are stricter rules. I'm pretty sure it has to be white or yellow but there may be some legal beagle on here who knows better. I think the penalty is a £30 ticket. There are other rules specifically about blue lights but i think they need to be "flashing beacons", but as someone has said it would be all to easy for the police to show that your bike has a headlight flash button and this might count......personally I'd pick a different colour.

Only a clear one is legal, any change in the colour of the light is illegal.

As stated above, only a white light at the front is legal (other than indicators, which must be yellow/orange).

Failure to do so is violation of C&U. That means a £30 ticket minimum, but doesn't carry any points IIRC.

Not quite. Both are equally illegal, but the enforcement recommendations differ. A red light could be interpreted as the rear of a vehicle, when in fact (in this case) it's the front! That leads to all sorts of dangers. A blue light however, everyone just thinks "Police"...

That reminds me, did you ever get those strobes working properly?

You'd be supprised, and North Wales police now have 4 unmarked bikes that I know of, 2 VFR's (one silver & one red), a 'Busa (black) and a GSXR-750 (again, black). I had a nice tour around the "safety features" of the GSXR & 'Busa at Colwyn Bay.

FWIW, impersonating a police office, carries a maximum penalty of 1 year in prison plus a fine.

Chavtastic!

You get free rim tape too?
