Small headlight hidden in the front number board and I'd fit a tiny rear light
... or just have the daylight MOT.

Daytime MOT would do nicely on that for me. Very nice.

Very cool
Hmmm... I'd need my 'bar hopper' to run at night...
Don't you still have to have a brake light for a daytime mot?
I think this bike'll have a 'For use on dirt roads, miles from anywhere, no cops about' kind of MOT

Nope......................just a rear red reflector, speedo (not tested) and continuous tone horn, number plate and you're good to go
''Machines do not need to have a stop lamp fitted if they cannot exceed 25mph, were first used before 1st January 1936 or were first used before 1st April 1986 and do not exceed 50cc. Those first used before 1st April 1986 must have a stop lamp that operates from at least one brake control and those used on or after that date must have a stop lamp operated from both brakes.
There is an added if not widespread complication for bikes first used from 1st April 1986 which were approved with a stop lamp activated by one control. There were very few of these and test inspectors are instructed to fail a bike only if they are certain the stop lamp was designed to be operated by both brake controls and isn’t.''

You missed the main 'daylight' exemption:-
This inspection applies to; all machines except those which have neither front nor rear position lamps, or has such lamps permanently disconnected, painted over or masked that are
. only used during daylight hours, and
. not used at times of seriously reduced visibility

nice looking bike no time like the present though
+1 that's correct
nope only a horn and number plate required
Nope, officially you need a red rear reflector too & a speedo for the MOT (although the operation of the speedo, doesn't form part of the MOT) as both fall into the 'construction & use' regs for using a bike

nonsense its no needed
It is in my MOT station
Again the 'daylight mot' means no reflector required if the bike has no lights fitted.
