Opinion please (Evotec tailtidy & rear reflector - legality)

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

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.

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

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.
