I thought that this may be of interest to anyone building a special or modifying their bike.
Forget the Old Wives' tales, these are the facts.

Just my opinion...maybe an idea to ask around other contacts ( who have customising experience ) re the degrees of attitude by your local emohtee station . I think the attitude is variable.

Totally agree, I've dealt with one MOT man in the past who has been a bloody nightmare.

I baffle my exhaust to save disappointment.

I've had advisories on my car one year only to have no mention the following year despite no work done to rectify. Same MOT station each time........

me thinks they have to put something down on advise note ,to satisfy vosa there is a need for an MOT test

Personally, I've never had any problems getting an MOT. I do actually have to turn up these days and twenty minutes waiting for the computer to time out is a pain, but the banter is good.
Out of respect, I always fit a full size plate, just in case I get pulled on the way out.
Remember folks, if you have a friendly MOT tester, don't come on a public forum, naming them and singing their praises. You will do them (and you) no favours at all.

I well remember taking my M2, with its V&H, for mot when I first got it, worried about the noise and if he would fail it. The tester came out, looked at it and asked if he could have a ride on it. I said yes, of course, and he jumped on without a helmet and took it round the block. And surprise surprise it passed And my customer loyalty has never wavered..........
