Do you legally need front indicators ?

hello, I am planning on doing a bar conversion on my Yamaha Aerox 50. because of this I will need to remove the standard indicators. Does anyone know if they are needed legally ? and will it pass the MOT without them ? thanks

 

hi,

yes you do need to have indicators yo pass your mot....

 

yes you need indicators as anyone coming towards you will not have a clue where your going, allso just get some indicators put on the front side panel thats what most do with bar con

 

ahh ok , thanks guys . will have a look to see if you can get stick on ones

 

You don't need them if you remove both front and rear and have day time mot but where's the fun in that

 

not needed and will pass a FULL mot as my main bike as for the passed 4 years.
but you must remove all not just front

 

LMAO read you highway code and learn hand signals, as a person on the road you should know this.

 

There is a quite popular youtuber called RoadcraftNottingham which lives in london and rides superbikes i remember on one of his videos he made a vlog about his bike which had no indicator and he was using his hands for signals.

 

I was gonna say hand signals.... Enduros, pit bikes and atvs don't always have them, they still pass as road legal

 

Thanks , Going to need to get a front pair as I don't wont to take the rear ones off

 

Anyone know how to do this ? and is it legal ?

 

Yer I would say thats not legal. What he as done is used a t10 bulb and rubber fitting then replaced the sidelight that are needed for mot

 

ahh ok , so if I got 2 of these http://dx.com/p/t10-socket-car-bulb...ther_Gadgets&gclid=CN-m8tmxy7cCFXMRtAodLjEAkw , put the bulb in and connect those to wires to the 2 wires which are on each indicator now , it should work ?

 

Yes it will. If your buln choice is a t10 led you will need resistors so get a normal 10watt type

 

ahh ok , what would you recommend I put in then , so I don't need to use resistors ?

 

o yea , thanks for the help

 

yea you can in the day, but at night you need them

 

nope. my quad as a full mot and no indicators from factory

 

k

 

all depends on the garage sum say it needs indicators sum say if u remove all you dont need them hand signals ive had a bike pass an mot with out indicators because i removed all and taped over the switches

all depends how they read the law hope this helps training mechanic lol
