it's really easy, and most of my racing pals now register their crossers from new. Why, well, A, you can insure them for buttons, and b, they make more money when you sell them.
Dont need lights, just a certificate of conformity and or letter from manufacturer.
Yep. The amount of stuff that you don’t need is actually pretty surprising - especially in this day and age. I think road legal tyres, horn and a rear reflector just about covers it, from memory. Dont need lights, just a certificate of conformity and or letter from manufacturer.
A mate used to have a road legal CR500. I think the only think you really need is a horn and a number plate. Anything else, like lights and indicators, has to work if it's fitted, but if they're not fitted it won't fail the MoT* Not sure about brake lights though.
* I once had a road bike fail because I took it for an MoT without the faring fitted, and the parking light was attached to the faring. No legal requirement to have a parking light, and I knew someone who had a US spec model of the same bike, which doesn't have a parking light, but because mine had the switch it had to work.

The rules may have changed, but I road legalised a CR250 late '90's, it was an absolute pain in the butt to do, and the bike was absolutely horrible on the road.
Back then, it needed a rear brake light, a chainguard, a continuous note horn, and a speedo. Needed a letter from Honda to verify year of manufacture, and an MOT inspection. Was a bugger to insure because the insurance companies had no idea what a CR250 was.
All in all, just not worth the hassle in my experience.

I did a YZ465 in 1984, one of those push bike speedos that ran off the side wall of the front tyre - maxed out at 40 mph (if the front wheel was on the ground).Back then, it needed a rear brake light, a chainguard, a continuous note horn, and a speedo.

Canister Air horn.
Total loss lighting system (dip/tail/brake) off a small 12v battery - wasn't aware you could have daytime MOT. Gary the MOTer insisted on road testing it for 'something'.
Insurance already had unlimited any bike for my CBX1000 (fab days).
