Re: Will I get nicked for a non-legal can?
 

Had a 'not for road use can' on one of mine since year dot, its passed every one of its MOTs with it on, so thats errrrr five?
Im Indoors was once stopped by the police with it on, it was late at night so obviously wanted to check his details....he was sent on his way with ''by the way, nice can ;-)''

a can aint causing any harm is it.

Re: Will I get nicked for a non-legal can?
 

ive got illegal cans on raptor and its very noisy. been pulled over by police when on a group rideout for a wee chat. police man advised us to keep revs down thru towns and villages and pointed out that noisy cans enable them to lie in wait. wee number plates are a different matter. police man said if it was letter box style he would fine as it makes it difficult to be read and therefore you must be doing something bad. lol. he was a nice guy. Its a risk you take. just dont take it in Wales

cool thanks for your wisdom everyone i will fit the standard number plate, but keep my exhausts. just have to make sure the mot people are ok with them

Re: What the worst that can happen?
 

Do not do this unless you are completely stupid. Polishing off the "not for road use" disclaimer turns a construction and use offence into a dishonesty one, which is legally more serious.

Im Indoors wouldn't dare go back to Wales on the Raptor, he left them all with a headache last time:smt081

Re: Will I get nicked for a non-legal can?
 

I've had my can on for a year and not been tugged so far. Been plenty of opportunity. Even in north Wales.

calling me stupid?:smt017

Re: What the worst that can happen?
 

I was followed so many times on sunday with noisey can and tiny plate and didnt get tugged at all thankfully.....even by the apparently terrorist police in matlock.

A mate of mine used to have a very loud baffleless microns on his RD125.

Though he never got done by the police, he did get a good hiding from one of his neighbours for keep waking his young baby! So technically having a loud exhaust can do some harm! ;)
