UK MOT - Rear Reflector?

Post by darboots » Fri May 04, 2018 7:09 am

What do the UK contingent do about the MOT requirement for a rear reflector?

Bit loathed to put one of those 20mm self adhesive jobs on, but does seem likely to be the easiest way around it.

Otherwise, two 20mm units with butterfly nuts through the licence plate and bracket?

The early Dreams had a single round reflector mounted below the registration plate.

Thanks Graham. Would you happen to have a picture of how that should look?

I think I eventually got one for a BSA. I'm sure that I found a Honda part number somewhere.....

Do not worry about the lack of a reflector. I have a 1965 CB72 and a 1965 CB160 in the UK without supplementary reflectors, why? Because if you look at the rear light lens it incorporates a reflector in the centre of the lens which complies with the UK MOT Regulation. Bob
