Spike101uk Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 So I'm looking at replacing my headlight for a matt black after market one and really like the look for the grilled ones, can anyone shed any light ( sorry couldn't resist) on its legality for use on uk roads 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Variomatic Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Not legal, only clear or yellow headlight covers are legal in the UK (rightfully so). The only way you could get your bike legal with that cover is if it had a daytime MOT meaning you couldn't use it at night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slice Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 The only time this will ever become legal is if the Luftwaffe come back 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nayruf Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I am probably wrong. I thought the wire mesh stone guards were ok in the UK, I recall seeing some new Triumph street scramblers with them fitted, they are such a fine mesh that they dont block out much light, http://www.britishbikebits.com/headlamp-stone-guard-7-bsa-triumph-norton-etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slice Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Your right STONE guards are ok but they must not occlude more than 10% of the available light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wild foamy Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Does it say in the ad if the light CE marked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Airhead Posted January 4, 2017 Moderator Share Posted January 4, 2017 I'd rather grill chops 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
