I wouldn't lose a lot of sleep over whether you've got reflectors or not, as long as the lights and brake lights work. No point spoiling the ship for a ha'porth of tar.
On the basis that the bodywork on the chummy is best part knackered and I'm in the que with the bodyman. I cant be arsed wiring up my chummy. It has lamps, but not wired (so no lamps in legal terms), nor any reflectors. No problems to date (other than making sure about arriving home before the hours of darkness)
Hedd, i was under the impression that if they were fitted they had to work.
I removed the indicators from a 1980 Vespa and sent it for an MOT, but as it still had an indicator switch this was [In theory!] a failure!
