I plan to move to Spain end of next year .
I want to take my red R1100S over now, put it on Spanish plates and leave it there .
Its a beaut bog standard bike , which will fly through the ITV there .
However, what about the light ?

How do i know ?
Where do I find out , and if needed where do I get a european compliant light ?

Thanks .
I was told that I was ok, but I've heard so many stories about failures and extortionate prices charged to sort it out , I thought I'd ask on here first .
