Type Approval
I am no expert in this topic, but my memory of this legislation when it was announced a few years ago was that Whole Veh type approval is for the manufacturers to import 1000's of bikes without further checks.
The point is that you can take any vehicle (e.g. kit cars are a classic example) to a MOT station and get single vehicle compliance testing, for a fee of course. All that stuff about left/right hand dipping headlights come under the test, blah, blah.
Therefore, go ahead, ride a RE back to the UK from India, modify as necessary (catalytic converter ???) and get it tested for compliance (but don't quote me because I may have it completely wrong - someone in the Dept of Tpt help me out here  )
