You need 2 or none at all, if you have 1 on they'll get funny.

Plenty of bikes came new with only one mirror. Perfectly legit in the UK to have none or 1 (Italy insists that you have a mirror in the left even if you are just a tourist).

All the best

my mot tester went mental at me for having 1 mirror as he was doing it by the book, so i walked into his workshop while he was on the computer with a adjustable and took it off while he was doing the test Laughing

Hi

Fairly certain mirrors are not even mentioned in the mot manual, let alone how many there are.

Suggest to him next time that he reads his book Wink .

All the best

Old Nissan Micras used to come with 1 mirror as standard, so dont see why bikes would be any different.

I remember a girl from school had one of these as her first car. How we all laughed at her 1 mirrored car.

Here is a pic I found:

Nope you can have just one both or none. Only rule being they cant be cracked or have glass missing.
