I'm sold on the idea of a full body kit.
I want the Tyga Eyes III (

Does anyone have something similar?
Do you pass MOTs with no issue? Do you use the built in indicators?
Are the front and rear light units E marked?
Thanks in advance!

Should be fine for MOT. As long as the headlights are aimed correctly, no-one will look too closely for E markings. As for indicators, you don't have to have them on the bike, just remove the switch from the switchgear and you're legal

I want the light unit with built in indicators. I need to know if the indicators are 300mm apart on the front and 240mm on the back. I've e-mailed tyga but time zones and such...
Anyone who has a body kit mounted know if they pass MOT?

I've been told by a few MOT testers that the indicator distances aernt part of the mot any more, I checked before i bought the led indicators for me fzr. I've been stopped by the plod a couple a times and appart from them looking round me fzr and going is it really 25 year old they've never said anything about them.

I've never even had the indicators tested on an MOT, never mind had the things measured for legality! lol

This is where the majority of my problems start.
LACK OF EXPERIENCE!
I've got a 2011 Yamaha YBR so I dont need an MOT and as such, have no idea what to expect.
Cheer for the advice dudes!

Depending on where you take it.
Some people will be more strict than others.
Generally anything dangerous (faulty) or taking the piss will likely get you into trouble.
If it is something that isn't so bad you might just get a warning about it.
As long as everything is present the body-kit shouldnt be an issue for MOT.
