Scooterotica

I have been told all bikes 86 and on need indicators. All after 1/8/86 need them.
Interesting comments on this.

There is also a part in the mot manual that says if a bike/scooter has been modified for off road use it dose
not need indicators. The mods include tyres. suspension and ride hight ! For track days etc etc.

My AF was specced and ordered new by me in 1886. It was delivered on the 1st of April 1987. Although never fitted with indicators during production,or imported with them as a requirement, the uk test states that it must be fitted with them for an mot. This applies to any motorcycle [using the full mot for day and night] registered on or after the 1st August 1986, when the 'D' plate registration came in. At present I have an mot station that kinda don't know this and am ok. If a time comes where this is not the case, then I shall be looking at the bar end little flasher type ones and the small matching ones for the rear.cheers,Speedy.

So you wouldn't reccomend AF for delivery times then

I would recommend AF always to anyone, but just remember that the AF bit doesn't stand for Arthur Francis..........It stands for 'Another fortnight'.
