Nurse Julie:
It is required for an MOT and I think it also comes under the C&U (construction and use) regs.
Just because you don't need an MOT you still have to make sure the bike is safe and roadworthy and it won't be either without an illuminated number plate. Read these new MOT regs, digest, learn and comply. Just because you are not getting it tested, doesn't mean you can ride / own an unsafe bike. Use the new MOT regs as the MINIMUM level to aim for.

Nurse Julie:
Here is the specific part you need to comply with, copied from the regs.
The rear registration plate must be lit. Most motorcycles will light the registration plate with a rear position lamp, but some will use a separate registration plate lamp.
Some registration plate lamps may be fitted behind the number plate.

Yeah no dramas thought there was something out there covering it but I saw this https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/449526/mot-inspection-checklist-motorcycle-vt29m.pdf and thought I wouldn’t need to bother
Like I said I’ve got one to go on anyway
Nurse Julie:
Yes, that's just a check list used as a reminder to the MOT tester of what parts he/she needs to look at on an MOT. It's not a list of what's required and what's not required to get your bike through an MOT.
Nurse Julie:
BTW, bikes looking great but the drive chain looks very, very tight, needs about 1" play in it.
