    Just a quick question, if I replace my stock steering wheel(gilera runner 50) and put on a handlebar type one, will I pass MOT? I'm curious since there are no mirror on the handlebar ones.

    Cheers ;)

    Thanks for the reply :). Driving around with no mirrors is generally less safe, but what the hell :D

    Fit some mirrors then, if your,ve fitted handlebars, mirrors will be no problem!

    You can always buy Mirror adapters for the handlebars.
    Also by low you have to have the right mirror fitted or both. UK

    wrong a 50cc or under is not required to have any mirrors, or a high beam or numberplate light
