[color=rgb(51, 51, 51)]Really stupid question im sure. [/color] [color=rgb(51, 51, 51)]But anyone have one of them friends who can so sneaky under the table MOTs?[/color] [color=rgb(51, 51, 51)] mechanics are not a fan of my headlight and i cant get it to pass.[/color] [color=rgb(51, 51, 51)]If you know someone or can your self please email me and name your price.[/color]
when I brought the bike it had non of the original fairing or headlines the wires have already been cut and soldered so going back to the original would be a long and expensive process.
another issue is my bike is stored in my friends garage in Brighton while I'm stuck in derby.
I know my bike is safe riding condition otherwise I wouldn't drive it. just finding a mechanical that will give a bit of leeway with Chinese headlight
okay then.
get some gaffer tape, cover over all your lights, indicators and then present bike for test.
you will get an advisory stating lights not tested, but you will have an MOT.
The problem with socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people's money!

Nice circular logic there. :rolleyes
Presumably it's failing on dipped beam shape or otherwise causing dazzle to oncoming vehicles so it needs to be sorted out.
If you can't do that where it's currently kept, disconnect the lights and tape over them, get a Daylight Only MOT and ride it home.
well I had I serviced last new tiers, plug, chain, pads, air filter, and bearing. I'm not one of them people trying to get dodgy mot to just sell and rip off the next owner. Iv seen plenty of people with Chinese headlights and Hid kits. they cant all be running just day time mots.
well my lights are not the best. before I had bulbs with a very dull yelow glow. like a 1950 vespa. I have some blue bulbs they fix the dull issue but Im not sure I could pass with them anyway. I had an offer for a no question asked mot for 75 quid but they pulled out in the end :/
yeah they are not the best. life lesson things advertised from China just are not worth buying.
was thinking of upgrading to a hid light kit but not sure if it will fix the been shape
I'm assuming someone in the past has streetfightered it. If it has a standard round headlamp get on the net and get a replacement headlamp for a super dream or the like. It'll be around £30, H4 halogen and will be a piece of piss to fit. It'll be 10 times brighter and will fly through an MOT test. Cheaper still , visit a bike breakers and get it cheaper. Hope this helps. Good luck.
Is it the dipped beam pattern that's the problem? Kicking up to the right?
If you can work out where it should you can mask off the problem area on the outside of the lens with insulating tape. It is acceptable for MOT as long as it gives horizontal dipped beam pattern, left hand drive cars pass UK MOT with beam deflectors stuck on lens.
