My "new" bike thankfully didn't come with many aftermarket parts, but along with the red anodised bolts scattered around it has an integrated tail light which I'm in two minds whether to get rid of.

While it tidies up the rear end there are two things that come to mind as downsides to it:

- Traffic following may have a hard time seeing the indication, they will probably be looking out for indicators.

- I've heard it's an MOT fail Question

BCF, what do you reckon - keep or bin?

The picture below is supposed to show the right hand indicator but you can barely see it.

Fuck it right off.

MOT fail, look gash, and difficult for other road users to see.

Definitely ditch it and go back to stock indicators.

Get rid, fit some good quality aftermarket indicators or the stock ones if they're not massive like my fireblade ones were.

leave it in there just wired up as stop and tail light.
then fit some normal indicators.
that gets you legal and on the road.
then just keep an eye out for a standard light if you can find one cheap.
