I thought that pillion footrests were an MOT requirement?
Obviously if there is no pillion seat they're not needed... Can you argue that there is no pillion seat if the cover is on?

The only thing like that I have heard about for MoT's is that if you want to legally ride a Dual purpose trail bike without indicators then you have to remove the rear footrests in order to legally do so. I did this on both my DR350 and much newer DRZ400 in order to ride them on the road- never had a problem with Plod or Mot's like that- lucky for me as my indicator bill would have been a fortune the amount I fell off on the muddy green lanes.

It's actually specifically covered in the MOT manual, which says: "Single seat motorcycles don't need pillion footrests. If there's an optional cowl replacing or covering the pillion seat at the time of test, you should consider it to be a single seat motorcycle." |
