MSVA trike lighting question
Hi everyone,
I am wiring my reverse trike and am using 99% of the bike wiring loom. I am basically extending all the wires from the loom to the dash area for new
switches etc.
Question is: the bike lights come on with ignition. Is this ok for MSVA? Should I rewire this? Or is it ok to have side lights/headlights come on with
ignition (like an old Volvo)
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Dan

Hi Dan, I'm new to the Trike regs, but having read the MSVA manual so far as I can see there is no requirement to be able to switch sidelamps
separately, in other words, no requirement for a parking light. When sidelights are turned on (with ignition if that's how they are) the way I
read it is that they must all be illuminated, front & rear & that includes the no. plate light & that they should operate a tell tale
light, OR the instrument lights are always on when sidelamps are lit.
You may of course decide you'd like to have parking lights in which case a switch from a permanent feed could be put into the sidelight circuit,
just add a diode in the ignition live wire so it can't back feed to the ignition
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.
