Re: Which exhaust? Pointy.
Quote:
I think most manufactures if not all will say any exhaust with baffles removed won't be road legal - but then a lot of people do remove baffles and don't get done for it. I gather plod will do you for it if they're really after any excuse, which I reckon would only come about if you were riding like an idiot. If it can get past an MOT with just a 'noisy' comment, you should be fine! I'm saying all this because I've just removed my lower plug out of my dual port blueflame exhaust, not too much louder but so much deeper, sounds so nice. So probably not strictly road legal.. well the top port has a baffle in.. so - not too bad right? |

Which exhaust? Pointy.
There is a difference between mot passable and road legal...
Not 100% but as long as it doesn't say not for road use it's legal but not necessarily mot worthy. I just swapped my micro mini fuel for a dan moto gp can, road legal but not mot worthy. Conversely my mate has a micron race can on his gixer, passes mot but it not road legal thanks to the aforementioned stamp. You can prob get away with a non mot worthy can as the pass is essentially discretion and as long as you aren't a k**b to the copper prob get away with it. But if it's not legal you are stuffed. Personally I prefer having 2 legal cans, one that will go on for an afternoon every 12 months to get through mot and one that will make ears bleed for the other 11.99 months

Plus sweethy has the issue of being legal in France which probably has different rules such as the ce mark etc

Re: Which exhaust? Pointy.
Yes, fuel per example are not CE homologated but are uk homologated. But the issue is no longer, the bike (after the accident was beyond repair for the insurance)
Was actually collected this morning, really hard to see your pride and joy being loaded on a truck full of scrapped car..... Now will have to wait for the claim to be settled and to feel better to look for the next ride! |

Gutted mate, it does suck.
Hope you grabbed any undeclared or rather unvalued shiny bits off it first! When you get round to finding an alternative, have you considered getting a can in France?

Re: Which exhaust? Pointy.
Yeah did took few bits, will certainly post the few parts when settle (in mean time feel free to pm me for a list)
For my next ride, I am looking at 600 hornet, or 750 gsr. But not really sure, will have to test ride. Like the triumph a lot but it is expensive and I understand it is very uncomfortable for a pillion - and it is a criteria the wife is pushing for!! |
