Default Rear reflector

I bought my SV a few weeks ago with a tail tidy. It has no rear reflector which afaik is needed in order to pass the MOT. I want to get one as small as possible so it's not that obvious. Is there any requirement on how big it has to be? And can anyone point me in the right direction on where to get one.

Thanks

most MOT places will sell the self adhesive type for a pound or two , if you say you want one before the test, they will stick one on, whether you keep it on when you ride out is up to you

PM me your address and I will send you a small piece of red reflective scotchlite (red ) for free - cut it and stick it where you like (bottom of the number plate ?)

Thanks for the offer, but I just ordered a small circular reflector like the one in daddyjob's picture.

Thanks anyway

I guess I must have a friendly mot place because I have a tail tidy, no reflector and they didn't even mention it.
