After my post about shall i fit a race can or not, i decided to go ahead and rub the "not for road use" off the can as it would ease my conciance, fit it to see if it was that that could cure the flat spot...
so for the first time in 6 yrs of riding i fitted a race can.... within a week i have been fined £30 for having a no e marked can fitted..... ![]() aghhhh feck it.... they were pulling all the bikes over at shurburn to checked them all, i got fined, a tuono that goodness knows how he got of as it was fooking loud but had an "e mark" same with a harley that destroyed the peace as it ****ed off into the distance.... oh and as they were booking me a ducati came past dipping its clutch... Any way whinge over, i broke the law iv been fined,.,,,,thats me taught ![]() Last edited by 454697819; 26-04-07 at 07:27 AM. |

Very unlucky. You could get one of the rivet on plates with the e mark stamped in it.

Worrying; My can is road legal, but it has no e-mark on it (not that I can find anyway). It dosnt have, nor did it ever have, "not for road use" stamped anywhere - this bike has passed MOTs with the current aftermarket exhaust on. The guy i brought it off (a copper himself) said the police will always take it as an illegal can, not having the e-stamp, and MOT stations are more than likley to let it pass, as it dosnt say "not for road use"

sod's law! At least you take it like a man, and now statistically you can probably razz it around with a loud illegal can and not get done for a while

Maybe it was a construction thing ???
Most race cans I have heard of are either, Carbony, Titaniumy, or Stainlessy Would have thought an Iron can would have been a bit on the heavy side ![]() Sorry to hear, but you knew the risks and took em, which is your right to do and in no ways a "told you so" thing. Besides I am sure that the enjoyment of the can is worth £30 ![]() David |
