You will definately need a rear reflector. Cant see as it needs a back seat & grabrail, but cant help you with rear pegs, but again, cant see why you need them for MOT purposes.

Cheers, does the reflector have to be a certain size? I'm sure I can find one to stick on somewhere, seen some thinner strip style ones for a few quid...

If there isnt a back seat on the bike then there should be no need for pillion pegs, if there's no where for someone to sit then theres no need to have somewhere to put their feet. Basic MOT philosophy, if its on the bike, it should work.

Sounds like my kind of philosophy...

Anywhere i've been in the past has seemed quite lax, so lets hope thats a generalisation
