You're advocating doing something that's classified as perverting the course of justice and is way more serious than just getting a £30 fine.

If you want to use an exhaust that's not road legal, fine, just have the balls to own up to it rather than trying to hide it.

Why?
The only way you're peverting the courts of justice if you own up to polishing it off..
Which isn't the greatest idea...

What? No. You don't have to admit to it to be found guilty of it otherwise no-one would ever be convicted for perverting the course of justice.

My point is that people should be aware that polishing off "not for road use" marks is potentially more dangerous than just leaving them on and hoping you don't get pulled by the police. Advocating removing them without making clear what the consequences could be is just stupid.

Or they can prove that you did polish it off.

I dont know where or when I read it, or even if its true, but allegedy the police take a very dim view of removing "not for road use" or "race use only" markings from cans.

I've been stopped more times than I care to think about.

Only twice have I had anything said about the plate. Once was whilst stopped at an accident, and nothing was said other than "small plate on that bike.."

The other time was after being stopped for crossing a solid white line. Neither time there was nothing said about the loud can (nor the excessive speed the latter time), and when stopped for white lining, the copper was sat about 3ft from my exhaust doing 50mph.
