Opinion please (Evotec tailtidy & rear reflector - legality)
 

See, I did it again, brackets. Damn I'm good. Fizz [-X

Anyway, to the point...

I'm looking at sticking an Evotec tail tidy on the back of my bike. But I also live in North Wales. Do you reckon the average traffic cop knows that you're supposed to legally have a a reflector on the back of a vehicle? I'm asking, because if they're likely to know, I'll definately get stopped for it :(

A possible solution, the number plate light has to stay (obviously), so surely I could just put some reflective tape on the back of the plate light. Does anyone know any websites I could get this from off hand? (I'll do a google in a bit, just wondering if anyone knows anything first hand).

Thanks folks & folk-ettes.

Hmmm I'll be risking my tail tidy up with the reflector, but without a number plate light....... for now. Would post a pic, but you know.......

The rear reflector can be anywhere pointing backwareds, so under the tail or make a bracket and stick it to the bottom of the numberplate.


Well done, no worriest you won't get them removed here ;)

Cheers Mark.

You HAVE to have reflector to pass an mot but number plate light isnt needed, i know as i used to wrk in a mot garage, plus my bike has no number plate light.

neither of my bikes have refectors fitted.

you can get a little stick on one from a £1 shop infact you get about 10 for a £1

Would agree with Hovi5. I got one of these last year and its still there. They are about the size of a pound coin and are perfectly legal from an MOT point of view. (mine passed with it)

I stuck mine on the offside bottom of the plate. So it doesnt intefer with letters and when parked its...... well on the offside.

Baph - Evotech sell small round reflectors for about £1.50. Stick it onto the back of the number plate light or I suppose on the corner of the number plate.

Suppose I should get one really.

Brownose :D :smt019

Champion guys, this was just the sort of thing I was looking for :D

I'll be getting a smaller plate at some stage (7x5 I reckon), so there's no point in sticking anything to the number plate.

Macho Grassy bottom.
