I'm talking about the modified tail on the FZ6
but.. it seems tricky to be able to fit a tail light into it.
I come out with this solution for now..

just out of curiosity...
What is the fine for riding around without a tail light?

Daytime MOT might not stop you getting prosecuted under the construction and use regs though.


Ok, thats cool, I thought it means you dont need one affixed front and rear.. and indicators are optional if you use hand signals.

Hmm, shall look deeper into it as im making a bike for track use but I want daylight MOT for the nice days.

You dont need a tail light during the day (or a front light for that matter).
You do need a reflector.
