ask the mot man see what he says

I never had a problem with MOT;  We don't have MOT in the Netherlands.

But.... I would check with my local MOT tester IF i had this question.

[vizman]

i've no idea, ask your mot bod....

.....if your mot bod is head honcho for robot wars or isambard brunel i'm sure it'll be fine

We don't have mot's here in Ireland (yet). I think it's a case of using common sense. As every tester is an individual, they will have their own opinion on the matter. Some may fail it while others will pass it. You have to ask yourself, why would it fail? Is there a chance of the chains snagging on a component which could jam your steering while riding it? Are the chains anchor points up to the job since chains would have a tendency to whip taunt. How will chains react to a tankslapper? Just a few questions I can think of that a tester may ask too. I don't think there would be many testers that would sign off on that mod seeing as it's their neck on the block if anything goes wrong if they passed it.

Alright Steve back on the build I see, more pics as it comes along

[warmsupersteve]

I'm 50 50 like the chain idea but yes I'm not scared to be different but don't want it to kill me,, afew mot guys say yes some say no , , I don't like just bolting on shit to make it look different so might just reweld the stops on maybe adjustable

I was on two of the old sites for a very long time, and now I have no post count and have to put in bullshit posts like this just to get my count back up high enough to buy shit.

They can be made to be light,just by swapping the front and back end on mine,I have knocked 50kg off of the weight

[Swirl]

I was gonna do this but have opted to stick the 11 in the 7

[warmsupersteve]

That abit better thay was already cut back

[warmsupersteve]

Bars and risers sorted

[Nelson]

Fred Dibnah's traction engine passed its mot every year & that used chains, having said that, it wasn't the most precise through the bends.

New lock-stops look a better solution.
