even the old bill know you don`t need one on a trike. Although a bit of protection from the rain does come in handy sometimes.


How about one like this?HuhGrin Grin Grin Grin

Fair enough. If it makes them happy & helps you pass the test, who cares!

So ,Im counting the days to the test now(next Weds!) My main problem has been finding somebody to come along to Norwich test centre with me,to help unload/load the thing ! My 2 sons are both busy at work.I asked about 10 people and everyone was busy,phoned the centre and asked if anyone there could help,but no joy.I think at last I may have found a lad to help. Just praying he turns up on time on the day! Its not going to be cheap though! Im not too fussed if it fails cos then at least I have a list to work to,but its obviously going to cost another wad of money to have to go back up there for a retest!We'll see!

Testing in the car park today...it was COLD out there! Happy I managed a short run,went out again ,its now snowing,so back in the garage!
 
 
 A couple of small puffs of blue smoke from the oil filler after a few circuits of the car park,but Im putting that down to the engine been standing for a while(and the cooling fan wasnt switched on!)Hoping it will de- gunk a bit after a bit of running.

Hi Rod trike looks great just noticed on your pic that your master cylinder is covered with some straps. can you still get the lid off the master cylinder without removing them?  Smiley

No! I read in the MSVA manual that the m/cyl must be (easily) accessed,so I thought that 4 x 6mm bolts on the cover would be ok? Or does the top have to be completely clear?

If you need to remove anything to gain access to the master cylinder then the tool required must be in the tool kit on the trike and not in your pocket hth  Smiley

This is copied from 100% biker forum they have a bloke on there that works for vosa and i asked the question what does easily checked mean


Hi Dan,

We had to come up with a definition of easily checked in the early days because the EU didn't bother to specify what they meant (no surprise there).

It's the note just below 12, if you can take the lid off by hand that's fine, if it has a viewing window or is translucent so that you can see the level that's fine too.

If the reservoir is solid and the lid needs tools to remove it then the tool required must be part of the vehicle equipment. So the allen key or screwdriver or whatever needs to be on the trike and not in your pocket.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Chris

Thanks everyone for the sentiments.....
Ive now altered the m/cyl cover. Looks c**p,but I will getaway with it, then change it after the MSVA.Oh ,and in my haste to get it sorted I managed to break a drill bit as I drilled it,which then went into my hand! Hey Ho!
