1. Chainguard is a legal requirement, even when it's made of plastic. I prefer to have one - if a chain snaps at speed, it could bunch up around the front sprocket & then punch a hole through the engine case or flail your left leg - I've heard of both these scenarios happening. I've had two chains snap, fortunately both just rolled of the bike & lay on the road, leaving me wondering at my sudden loss of drive - I consider myself very lucky......


2. Indicators shold be okay, blink rate is determined by existing flasher relay/electrics.

3. Exhaust - depends on how loud it is & your relationship with the MOT station. Number & letter stamps are wonderous things when combined with a hammer..... You could also make a small aluminium plate with the relevant stamps on & then rivet it on?

4. 35/55w headlight is no problem, Many scooters etc come with 35/35w as standard.

5. Most sportsbikes have had a digital dash of some sort for a few years now - no problem.

6. Tank obstructing steering lock may be an issue, dependent on degree of obstruction & the person carrying out the MOT. If welding ne stops, just ensure that the battery & ignition box are disconnected prior to welding if using Mig, Tig or Arc welding. If you tack weld stops on for the MOT, no problem. If you weld the stops to last a long time, you may end up putting a lot of heat in to the headstock, in which case you may need to remove the forks & yokes to check & re-grease the headstock bearings as it may have melted. Whoever welds your stops on could also make a basic but effective chain guard quite easily

7. Number plate should be lit by a clear white light. You may get away with it?

Good luck

Steve
