It should do. Why they normally have a steel brace built in.

All the best

Paint it black. Mr. Green Thumbs Up


Should give those headers a good going over as well. Sick


Wink


Edit: Keith, doesn't it need a certain amount of tire cover to pass the mot?

It holds the forks straight and stops them warping, could make the tyre go funny..

Mine is just plastic without any bracing - suppose it depends on the bike.


I'd ride it anyway though tbh, biggest concern I'd have would be about stone chips.

I believe, from looking it up cos the c90 one was shagged, that you don't have to have one for an MOT but you do legally need one for the road. Construction & use rules or similar.

Think it would be here

Mot Manual wrote:

7. An insecure mudguard or one able to easily contact the wheel, tyre or any fixed point of the machine.

8. deliberate modification which significantly reduces the original strength, excessive corrosion, severe distortion, a fracture or an inadequate repair of a load bearing member or its supporting structure.


All the best

Keith
