Dual headlight mod, MOT fail?

[Turisu]

Hi all,

Can anyone who has performed the dual-headlight mod on their scoot tell me if this would cause the bike to fail an MOT? The Burgman is going in this week and I'd rather not unhook it if I don't have to. I know theoretically the angle of the beam on the second lamp may be an issue but on some bikes I've read that it can still be within passable limits. Grateful for any real-world experiences. Cheers.

it will depend on how high the altered sides, beam is.. and which mot centre you use.. my mot bloke is in the sticks and is very helpful and relaxed.. take it to a dealer type place and they always seem more picky

with my mod its as simple as reaching under the nose and unplugging the bullet connector

Mine has passed at least four with both headlights operating.

what is this all about. My o6 majesty runs twin headligts with high low filiments so both lights are running all the time .
another muppet here in our town has a 2008 face lift model dual headlight but it has only one light and when he goes on high beam both lights work.Have noticed it on a lot of newer twin light sports bikes recently There is no comparison that mine is brighter and more visible during the day when it is important to be seen.doesnt seem to make logic for day riding .As it is i always run on full beam. Maybe some smart arse has put left and right lenses on for night running ?

Thanks for all the advice, everyone.
