Thanks......

Does it have a British Standards number stamped on it? That would show it to be a road legal can.
If it has 'not for Road Use' or 'Race Use Only' stamped on it, then is not legal.

have a good look.......it might have been polished off ? how loud is it? if its not too bad you should be ok

Thanks for the info - I got it - rode it home....It is quite load but it was too dark to have a good look for any stamps. Will inspect tomorrow.

Thanks again :)

I'm pretty sure the standards stamps are irrelevant now with MOTs and police. So long as it isnt marked "not for road use" or "race use only" it should be fine.

Thanks again fro the info guys.......It has "for competition use only" on it so unfortunately I will be taking it off..

I took it off but unfortunately the original was cut off clean.

Anyone aware of an insert I can use - Or do I have to get it welded back on?

Thanks again

just polish the stamp off, some garages will let you get away with it for the mot

you can get a badge off ebay to stick over the "not for road use" my mates got 2 on his TL1000r and that passes the mot every year.
