US Spec LTD Indicators
When I turn the ignition on the front indicators come on, they still flash when you indicate but I`m wondering wether it will go through an MOT like this ?.

the front indicators have a dual filament bulb fitted you can either change it for a standard single filament indicator bulb or remove the feed to indicator. standard European bikes would have two wires going to the lamp the american ones have three. identify the wire that feeds the lamp as a day light & disconnect it looking at the wiring diagram if you disconnect the blue wire to the indicator they should work normally

Thanks, quite an easy fix then.

[quote="Redbeard"]Assuming they switch on and off then it shouldn't be an issue. US spec bikes often have lights switched on all the time, obviously not the indicators though.[/quote
Yes the headlights are on all the time, no switch off.

There is no issue with the UK MOT and US yellow marker lights in the front. it will pass as my Z1000 police has .the one that will let you down is no side light in the US headlight.

As soon as you turn the ignition on the headlight comes on, so a side is not needed is it ?, surely you would not be able to see it.
what about Harleys and their yellow marker lights ?.

What about headlight glass, that will be for driving on the right won`t it ?.
