supposed to have 1 mirror minimum... doesn't say what size it has to be. get a dentist mirror haha.

i've never run mirrors and been pulled over before. no complaints about mirrors or dodgy underseat licence plate. guess i was lucky.

i had my plate up near the rear shock right under the seat. indicators were attached to the plate as well. only visible from behind on the flat. on one wheel it was concealed haha.

mirrors make it hard to get into high chair, but helps you run.

Re: how illigal is it to not have your Mirror??

i wast running mirrors for ages and never got asked bout not having them. then i decide i better put one on just incase, some popo on a power trip tells me it isnt good enough and needs to stick out further . i got it from a pushbike shop. only small thing, but actually workes really well. i could see the highway patrol car sitting behind me on the old raod for a good 15-20min lol.

Re: how illigal is it to not have your Mirror??

Any Of the Following:

Indicators
Mirrors
Sticker & actual bike colour
Cage
12 Bar
Oggy *****
Exhaust
Rear Brake
Moto Bars
After Market Brakes
OEM Headlights (its not just a light)

If you change the bike from stock it "could" require an engineers certificate (eg Cage and Bar), and if a cop wanted to be a ****** he could give you a defect for any of the above...and some.. based on the grounds that the bike didn't come out with that from the factory...

Yes but then they will open up a can of worms, and would have to defect plenty of other cars/bikes, which would also mean businesses that sell after market parts would be in trouble etc etc.
