potatobroxd Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 I've been reparing my front forks a lot lately and to access the pinch bolts I need to remove the front headlights and brackets (stupid design i know). Ive accidentally dropped a bolt somewhere in my bike and now i cant re-attach the front headlight bracket and delivery takes 2 weeks. So.. can i actually ride in the DAY TIME without front headlights and blinkers if they are totally removed from the bike? (I ride to buy groceries as i dont have a car) Quote
Stu Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 Yes you can The ruling is if they are fitted they must work Quote
Bender Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 Yes you can The ruling is if they are fitted they must work And as you have modified it you will need to inform your insurance that you have removed them. Quote
Stu Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 Yes you can The ruling is if they are fitted they must work And as you have modified it you will need to inform your insurance that you have removed them. Would it be classed as temporary and be OK? Quote

They would first have to prove that removing them caused the accident Quote

Guest Richzx6r Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 Shouldnt this thread read indicators and headlight Quote
Guest Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) If your headlight is removed, all other lights must be removed. That includes taillight and 4x turn signals. If a taillight bulb breaks during daylight hours, you must cover all other lights with tape, and use arms as turn signals. Edited April 24, 2020 by Guest Quote
Stu Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 without lights it would be a daytime mot There is no such thing Quote
