Hi guys, another question I'm afraid.
The 535 is nearly ready for the dreaded MOT, but do I need indicators on the mudguards as well as the original bike indicators which are still on the bike. I've fitted the combined stop and tail and the marker lights on the mudguards but not the indicators. Can I save myself a job?
Thanks,
Regards

400mm from the outside edge of the vehicle seems to be a common distance for most lights on trikes. I'd check that, but if your handlebar mounted ones are visible from the front & within that distance from the outside edge, they should be O.K.

Thanks for the replies guys much appreciated.
The hazards are already on and working, got them from evilbay they were dead easy to fit and they work too. Result!
I had a look at the online msva handbook and it says that the indicators must be within 400mm of the outside edge. As I have never been to this MOT station before and don't know how strict the bloke is I am going to fit some indicators on a bracket to comply. May be over doing it but could save myself some hassle.

Thanks again
Regards
