Not sure it is legal. The pillion has to reach the footrests not the 'mudguard'.
Nope, the "footrests" requirements is a "should" not a "must":
Quote:Highway Code Paragraph 85: You MUST NOT carry more than one pillion passenger who MUST sit astride the machine on a proper seat. They should face forward with both feet on the footrests. You MUST NOT carry a pillion passenger unless your motor cycle is designed to do so. Provisional licence holders MUST NOT carry a pillion passenger.[/quote]

So what you're saying is it's Ok for them to face backwards if they wish... And their feet don't have to touch the pegs. :lol Yeah Right!
It's a bit ambiguous. From my understanding you have to sit astride the machine on a proper seat facing forward with both feet touching pegs.
