get it dyno'd and get the print out with your reg and frame number printed on it and signed buy the place that did the dyno to verify it.

you dont need a cert by law but it help

ahhh cheeers! :P big help as a friend has a dyno, will get it done there cheap me thinks :) cheers :)

If you get a new kit fitted by a dealer you'll get a certificate with it. You'll also get financially shafted.

General consensus is that legally you dont need one. In my experience neither insurers or the police have been at all interested in the state of restriction of my bike. Other peoples experiences may differ...

Irrespective of other peoples feelings on this, it's really not a very clever thing to say on a public forum.

FWIW, this has been discussed at some length on another forum I use: www.therevcounter.com

Some cops and ex-cops contributed and the general consensus is:

• The certificates are meaningless
• Going through FI International is a massive rip-off
• If you use cheapie restrictor washers off eBlag and the cops stop you, they may want to dyno test your bike (as they did to one bloke and damaged his bike, case ongoing)
• If you have a dyno sheet with you the chances are they will accept that (unless they are real barstewards).
• The insurance bods don't care (yes really!)
