Micron gone bust?
 
I read in AMCN (which is a completely different read to the UK MCN! ;))

There was a small article saying that Micron has ceased trading. It goes on to say that the parent company (who makes car exhausts) will continue to trade, but as yet, it is unclear as to the future of Micron motorcycle exhausts.

Anyone heard anything?

Well they weren't answering their phone or emails a couple of weeks back, then I found this:

There's a bit more info in the comments.

Their products have been slowly going down hill, and the the budget exhausts available in the UK are better quality and far cheaper.

If you cannot draw in the customers then you are going to go bust...

Hmmm, they were never cheap... and I cant remember them standing out. Guess thats the reason for them going under. Oops.

I thought they went bust about 2-3 months ago?

They went bust, but their cans were bloody good....which is why I bought spares and hid em in the loft, they are as rare as rocking donkey poo!

I have a twin port Race Art can for the other SV, will pop it on once the MOT is passed.

Yeah, it was a shame as the Art cans were pretty much the beginning of cheap aftermarket exhausts in the UK and they had the excellent build quality to support them too.
