Re: Rear brake light Tail Light, Integrated Indicators
I have some vague recollection that the Construction and Use regulations specify a minimum spacing for indicators, (maybe 250mm). But I don't think this is tested on the MoT.
I've tucked mine up under the seat and they went through the MoT fine. Keith. |

Re: Rear brake light Tail Light, Integrated Indicators
If it's the one you see one ebay, it violates constructions and use as the indicators are too close together.
More importantly, they are sooo hard to see from behind; as are some mini/led indis. |

Re: Rear brake light Tail Light, Integrated Indicators
Personally, as above, I wouldn't risk it ...
I don't even like mini indicators .... but then again i'm on the bike everyday, all year round, so looking cool comes a distance behind feeling and being seen .... |

Re: Rear brake light Tail Light, Integrated Indicators
I'd say just don't wire in the indicators, I didn't. The lights themselves aren't overly great, although I bought the tinted ones so can't say what the clear ones are like obviously

Re: Rear brake light Tail Light, Integrated Indicators
i fitted one on wife's bike (curvy), i think it's from Clear Alternatives, not 100% sure, it's been there 2-3 yrs... very visible, far better then stock, i never have any doubts anymore when following her. but... we have no silly rules here, it just has to be clearly visible and red or amber color...
