I've been failed at one place, then went 200 yards down the road and 30 mins later got a pass with not a mention of the noise.
More of concern will be a side-mount plate - very very particular about that. And any funnies with lights like combined brake, blinker, stop and such.
All this stuff is easy to fix though. Pop along to a HDRCGB meet and the guys will set you up with loans or whatever you might need.

To my untrained eye, yours looks good.
Folks run a cropper though with small, angled, partially-hidden and otherwise just not-UK-legal plates.

I was looking and found some stuff with the turn signals being seperate from the brake lights, so i ordered the radiantz dogeyes light for the rear. I have them wired up and when i hit the brake the turn signal also comes on from the turn signal module. So i was able to find the secondary connectors for the turn signals under the neck and used that and it work, but my blinker light flashes fast for the rear being disconnected. So I was wondering if i could put a resistor on the rear to simulate the bulb being there and what size resistor. Any advice would be nice, is there suppose to be a parking lamp on the front of bike? and are the front turn signals suppose to be just turn signals and not running lamps?

The EU standard (which UK is a card carrying member for) for noise levels is 92 db. It's not so much a case of no definitive level for the UK, more a case of them not really giving a hoot.

My UK bought Street Glide has combination rear run/brake/turn lights as stock. Only difference I can detect to the US model is that the lenses are amber not red.
You will need to adjust the head light ever so slightly left, but that's 5 minutes with a wall and a screwdriver.

Well I was able to set up the radiantz dogeyes on the bike. The only thing is the blinker flashes fast, because I'm running the rears off the front. Just as long as it passes the mot, I'll be happy. Thanks for all your help, and I'll be checking out that group when I Get over there.
