Stealth13 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I am thinking of getting a wr450 and making it street legal. Once I do the signals and mirrors do I just register it as a street bike or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busyeddie Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 No legal requirement for mirrors, and if a vehicle has no lights fitted it will pass with an advisory note saying so. Thus the bike cannot be used between dusk and dawn or in bad visibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busyeddie Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 If you build your own bike you may have to have it type approved, or have an SVA, depending on how much it is your own build. In this case it may need lights to pass the approval before mot. I am unsure. But for cars to pass an SVA, they have to be absolutely spot on.

Ryan09 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Im pretty sure you have to have something like a rear running light or brake light and a horn at least but headlight, indicators and mirrors arnt needed on a dirt bike to be road legal but will only have a day time mot.
