Thanks everyone.
It's a GSXF750 engined Bandit 6 if anyone was wondering.
Only thing I think it would struggle on the MOT with, si the swingarm-mounted no.plate.
Is it actually needed for the MOT, or can I whip it off beforehand, and they use the VIN number?

Yippee!!!!!
Bike passed it's MOT! :D
Flew through, with nothing but an advisory for the plate, because it's on it's side. :rolleyes:
He did say that there was nothing in the MOT or road regs thoguh about mounting them sideways, but he's had to put it down, in case I got pulled, and it shows nowt on the MOT for it.
Dead chuffed. Huge thanks to Del once again. :cool:

Go on with ya and yer cheap wheel lol
Gnome
28-07-2006, 03:56 PM
Just spoke to Del - no.plate is moving! :D
It's going on the leccy box. It can clearly be seen from the rear, and it's still the full-sized one.
He also mentioned PDF Paul has a mate who works with Fibreglass, who can see about an undertray of sorts, and mounting the plate within the undertray, over winter. :cool:
The never ending story continues!!!!

Lol. Well, it was gonna be swapped for a 7x5 plate I have in the garage, which would've left plenty of clearance, but the MOT man reckons I'd just keep gettin pulled for the side-mounted plate, whereas you can see the plate on the leccy box a lot clearer.
