View Full Version : What do I need for a WOF?

Few things broken/missing on my bike right now...

No windshield
Fairing bolts have been rattling out and some tabs broken on fairings meaning i can't bolt the fairings down properly.

Since the fairing was repaired it has shortened a bit and doesn't line up properly on one side making it near impossible to bolt the top piece to the bottom piece.

A metal tab that the pillion peg bracket screws into has broken off the frame which also means the exhaust is a bit wobbly.

Is any or all of this going to fail me on my WOF?

Insecure exhaust can be a fail. Other stuff only if something is loose (likely to catch on pedestrians etc) or likely to fall off. You do not have to have a windscreen, or any fairing bits. But what is there must be secure . However, secure does not have to be by original fastening. You may legally tie the exhaust on with wire, f'instance, so long as it is secure and not wobbling about.

If you're worried about it - just take the fairing off and call it a Street Fighter.

Get a real bike.Shit why didn't i think of that :pinch:

Thanks for the replies! Sadly i can not take the fairings off as it would mean no indicators. However the bike does look bloody awesome as a streetfighter so i am considering it :yes: The exhaust moves about 2cm if you move it by hand but i doubt they would want to touch a hot exhaust ;)

Ask for a bit of a hand, bound to be a KBer local to you who will help for a few beers or similar.
