Default MOT Time

The SV is due for its MOT - its booked in for this Friday, and just spoken to the tester about some mod's to see if it would fail. They are:

- Fuel SS end can with removable baffle - he said that as long as the its not excessively noisy, it should be ok
- Tail tidy - obviously got rid of the old snow shovel, and therefore the reflector - I have stuck on a reflector included in the tail tidy kit from Evotech, and he said as long as there is a reflector mounted centrally, which is separate from the rear lights, it should be ok.

Just wanted to see if anyone else had trouble come MOT time with the above mods - I think they are pretty common on a few SV's on here. The test station is about an hour away so I dont want to go all that way if its a risk it will fail - even though from the sounds of it, it will prob be ok...

If it was absolutely necessary, I could refit the OE end can, and fabricate a mount for the original reflector, but dont want to if I don't need to.

Any advice appreciated!

Ta,

BB.
