Rear reflectors at MOT? - SV650.org

15-11-11, 11:10 PM

Hi everyone, it's been a while since I posted but I thought I'd share my trip to the MOT centre this morning

Knowing that the MOT was due soon I bought a reflector to attach to my number plate having replaced the tail tidy a while back. Got to the centre this morning and it wasn't until the guy was walking around the back of the bike when I realised I had forgotten to fit the reflector. I had my back box on which has two big reflectors on it but I didn't think I would get away with that as the box isn't a permanent fixture on the bike, but I passed

The guy never mentioned the reflector at all, so either he missed it or the reflectors on the box counted, I've no idea.

Anyone know what the requirement is?

I have had a few passes with my tame tester, there was one fitted at the time of the test

Looks like the reflectors on the box covered it then, glad I left it on to go round to the test

Thanks for the link, could come in handy!

Cheers,

Dave.
