MOT / XR650L - problems?

[POB/London]

Hope you can help UK-based people!

The time has come for me to get the first MOT on my XR650L, which I have been using as an Adventure Touring-type bike:

I need to know the following, before taking it in. Please bear in mind when answering that the bike has never officially been sold in the EU, and is a US import (registered privately on a "W" plate).

BTW, I'm after a full MOT, not a daylight jobbie.

* Do I need a chainguard? Some monkey took it off...

* Are handguard-mounted indicators legal in UK (size, blink rate etc)? I have the Acerbis ones.

* The bike is quiet but has no "E" marked exhaust - problem?

* Same for headlights (35/55w dipper but no "E" mark)?

* Are digital dashes road legal? I have an IMO one, which is TUV approved for Germany, BTW.

* Large tank slightly obstructs lock-stops - can I get a washer tack-welded onto each side to make it clear?

* No. plate is 100% legal size - must it be lit independently (at the moment the rear light sort of shines onto it but there's no white lighting)?

Can't think of anything else at the moment, but I'm sure there are other issues. I feel I need to go prepared...

Thanks people.
