Its getting hard now though as vosa are doing alot more random spot checks so the mot guys are getting less willing to pass stuff they used to, dreading it when it comes to my 675 having her first MOT as she wont pass with her race can/system so gotto mess around putting standard back on

Well its a stupid rule but.........

Answer would be to either get a can-hanger to replace the peg, or maybe he can knock out the pivot pin on his existing footrest, removing the footpeg so making it into just a hanger......
