Rear reflector

  1. My 1198s is coming together and last bit is finalising the tail tidy

    Have picked up an evotech tail tidy which I am very impressed by

    Also have bought an R&G numberplate light which is very small and unobtrusive
    Where do people put the reflector if anywhere? I want to put one on as my mot guy always insists - and sticks it on the numberpate if necessary
    Dont want to do that - also I have got a ducati flag reflector whihc I quite like!
    Could put it below the numberplate light but looks cluttered

    Anyone got the same or a similar setup and if so what did you do?
     
  2. Dont tell 'the man', but I dont run a reflector on my 1098. I have two numberplates, one slightly small, one normal size. The normal size has the reflector and thats the one my bike wears at MOT time.
     
  3. Aha! Gotcha!
     
  4. You can buy small reflectors that stick directly onto the numberplate. They're about 20mm diameter.
     
  5. That's my strategy...:upyeah:

  6. if that's other colours than red then at mot time it could fail. Believe they have to be wholly red. I have a tail tidy on mine, but just attach the OEM reflector when I have to.

  7. I do the same just change for legal size plate with reflector on MOT day. Have Italian flag reflector below small number plate.

  8. My old bike passed with the Italian one last time, think he just looked for a red reflector and ticked the box.
    Sounds like it could vary...Same ole, same ole...:biggrin:
     
  9. Reflector?? Whats one of those? My 749 hasn't had one on since I brought it 4 years ago, passed everytime no questions. :eek: Must also note that I have used different testing establishments everytime.
