every bike manufactured after 1988 must have indicators fitted and working if they were fitted by the manufacturer.

according to my MOT bloke, who seems pretty clued up on most things, whilst not being a "jobsworth"
I am sure Fontyyy would have something to say about this with his daytime MOT NSR MC28 no lights inc brake lights, indicators, speedo.

It does have a horn.

That is all.

Should have a number plate too. :D

FWIW
Dr biggs (me) is taking his Dr Biggs replica (no lights, indies etc) out every day for a spin to work. It has however a horn and number plate. :D
