    I have to dissagree. The bars will past so with emarked gauges etc. But how are you going to do your lights ? My friend has his where his indicators go. They don't pass the m.o.t cause of the angle of the beam. Hope this helps some way ?

    Ooops. Didn't read it properly. Yeah on a zip or any other bike with a light on the handlebars it's not a simple task to get it through an mot.

    i was thinking about possible mounting a different set of lights in the front fairing or as jonny said changing the location of the indicators so that headlights can be fitted in their place

    It wont pass a m.o.t with it. But what my mate did is for his m.o.t he just put the normal headlight back on for the m.o.t then take it back off haha.

    ah i see

    i have no decied what im going to do :)

    i have found a set of singal moped headlights of a japanese bike kicking around at work which have a beam pattern and high beam so the plan is to smooth the origianl lights and custom fit the lights i have found then mount some small l.e.d indicators on the sides :)

    hopefully the plan works just a case of working out how to make the bracket to hold the lights in place :)

    being a mechanic comes in handy so hopefully can work my magic somehow on a moped lol
