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?

You're spot on, Mr Gazza. I had this discussion with Nick and Chris at Doubletake one year, or rather they pointed out to me that, if I brought the bike in without the pillion pegs, I must remember to fit the seat cover if I wanted it to pass.

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."

Thank Luddite. I thought that was the case.

Nice rearsets Mo.

I concur with that, I've never had an issue with not having pillion pegs for the MOT

Chris, are your rear sets ok now after Oulton Park, these look pretty smart ?

These won't fit mine, Mike, but I'll see if they do ones that will. Mine are Ducabits so I've discovered. They are perfectly serviceable now they have been tweeked a bit.
