Getting the bike on the road

[Guest]

So currently i have the bike sitting in my garage and with the fairings off.

So im replacing the water pump and hose, rear indicator and so far thats it.....

currently i have the front fairings off, MOT wise would it pass because some of the electrics are showing and there is no indicators... do i need them on or not (pretty sure i do!) Just means i have to put it all back together again lol.

Im almost tempted just to leave it like that, looks awesome

EDIT: Do i need an extended MOT to get it from a Cat C to roadworthyness or would a normal MOT do? (I plan on putting it through its 7500 mile service while im at it anyway)

you need indicators for the mot do you still have the v5 for the bike or do the insurance compay have it being a cat c write off you might have to book bike in for a vic check before you can get the v5 back this will also be marked up at bottom of front page as previously seriously damaged and repaired

u DONT need indicators for the mot, If you HAVE indicators then they must work, If you HAVENT then ur ok,

I know this because my fighter has no indicators so i took it to a VOSA center for them to check it out and they said its fine

[eastanglianbiker]

as far as im aware if the switch is there the indicators have to be there and anything registered after 1992 has to have them as well

[DaddyG]

nope, its all changed mate, If u have indicators FITTED they must work,

Thats what VOSA told me 2 weeks ago when i took mine in.

All u need to pass now is a reflector

and a fuel tank big enough to get u there and back without stopping......................

Thanks

So i'll have two indicators fitted...... meaning i need to have all 4 or none at all ? bugger..

Oh and i have my insurance haven't taken or done anything with a V5 ???... ill phone up my local MOT place and see what they say!

Ordered a few parts today; new clip on, new water pump& connecting pipe, new grips, bar ends and indicator. Probably didnt come to more than 80 quid

*works out ish*

About 80-90 and its road worthy!

if you dont have front and rear indicators then your bike will be given an mot with a daytime use only advisory - basically a daytime mot.

for a full mot you need full lights back and front

Okay thanks

Okay one more question;

To get it back on the road i need:

MOT to make sure its road worthy

then

VIC check to ensure its the vehicle that i say it is

then i get sent a new logbook?

Am i right?

Thanks

if you have the v5 already you wont need to geta vic check done if you dont have the v5 then it will ost you the fee to get one i think this is still £25 and if you need a vic check that was £35 last time i had one done
