You are mistaken, it's the T-800 from the first terminator film. The red dots are for the eyes.

I'm just picturing the cost of constantly renewing bike front forks etc; as no doubt every Johnny cager will be glued to their rear view mirror once they spot someone wearing that.

The question is will YOU spot them watching you in time to avoid regular shunting sessions!

plod would merely assume its illegal instead of knowing whether it is or not and fine you for it regardless.

Fortunately we don't yet live in some totalitarian police state like Mega City 1 or France.

Non endorsable, £60 fine (if that). Ask him if it's really worth his and the CPS's time.

Worst case, factor the cost into your riding budget. Switch to a clear or legal tint visor when you're short on cash.

Haven't paid yet, waiting for him to ring me back. May change a few things but I do like the solid black gloss a lot. I already have that other Bandit that he did for me with the teeth on it so I want to keep this one all black.

Going to be at least £700 - £850

Could be wrong here but im sure ive read somewhere of a guy getting pulled by the plod cos of his lid.
Lid itself wasnt illegal per se, but they said it was dangerous as was distracting to other drivers due to paint scheme. Shocked

They can only advise you to change it if distracting then surely? If they can do people for having things that are too fancy then people wouldn't be buying sports cars and police cars wouldn't have sirens! Laughing
