Easy enough to fit one even in a pure race can

Thank you, at last some proper advice on this thread.

Both of these people have been pulled once for it I believe, were given a rectification notice, stuck a baffle in (in Stu's case put a can on) passed the inspection and then put the bikes back to normal.

I'd go for it if I were you. Check if there is a place to fit a baffle in the cans, and if so go for it if you like them. If you don't like the look of them, don't bother. Your bike is nice and shiny, don't stick anything you don't like on it!

No you got me confused with the other - thought you weren't going to use my name
It was the Ducatti that changed cans for rectification notice.
2 of the 4 times I've been stopped relating to my can I was accused of doing over double the speed limit & both times I was let off with 3 & 60 so I may have gotten away both times without attracting attention if it hadn't been for my can. So you can do loud can or naughty things, but putting them together is obviously going to increase your chances of a tug.

A proper MOT station in my view is one who'll overlook things that are not safety issues, like small plates and loud cans, but do a proper good test on everything that matters, like brakes, lights, tyres and bearings etc

I think good taste should be included in the MOT, so bikes that are festooned with blue or red anodised alloy bits should be failed and the owners sectioned under the Mental Health Act

Dunno about sectioned, but this is halifax, so does "f### off and get a proper bike, you poof" count as similar?

My local one will pass it, but anything needing attention will get told to "get that sorted ASAP or we'll have problems" ... and anything blatantly dangerous gets a fail.

Sounds a good idea to me, couldn't we just shoot them though as we are getting a little over crowded here (see my location).

Wen and got it done this morning , Sounds amazing and turnt out its a complete Race system not just a can , its took them an over an hour to take my off as the bolts where completly seized so he was nice enuff to charge me just ?25 for fitting it , i gave him my silkolene and genuine oil suzuki oil filter, changed it all round for me , done a fresh MOT and my chainguard rear bolt staped off and he made up a much stonger custom bracket there and then , all in 70? considering 30? of thats the mot alone ****ing cheap

Differnce from standard?

-Sounds amazing
-Deffo revs up alot freely from low revs
-Superligth

Not sure bout power it feels faster lol but proberly due to the noise, but i am sure a full straigth through race system added 2bhp or somthing

anyhows , gonna go clean it up now as its dirty as hell

Full system should add 4+ BHP.

However you will almost certainly need a remap/rejetting or you will do damage to the bike.
