LOL then someone best tell just about every auto and bike engined conversion scooter, oh and pretty much 99% of chopped bikes out there
once its radically altered, and that usually means that the main cradle is cut about altered, modified etc, then its MSVA territory, but few people actually do that.
my current build will be MSVA tested and Q plated, because I wanted it registered with a specific make and model, but not yet seen another scooter thats modified and appears to have been regged properly LOL
the custom bike/trike/car/scooter world seem to just consider it as optional LOL

Has this motor been ran yet ?
How much work did you do to the casing to accept the DRT reedvalve ?
Ive just made a reedvalve block similar to the DRT/Worb 5 type from a flat LML reed and a billet manifold/spacer for an engine with a knackered sealing pad.
