Default Will I get nicked for a non-legal can?

straight to the point my bike has exhausts which say for race use only on them and they have no baffles, just wondering what sort of trouble would i get into if pulled over? plus would having baffles in make them any less illegal or would i still be screwed?

also what trouble do you get in for having a small number plate?

a small plate is £30 fine and a rectification notice, your exhausts shouldnt be any problem til mot time, if you can polish the "not for road use" off it may even pass with it on.

Hanging!

New legislation came in just yesterday, so I fear you may be out of luck!

There is no definate answer, depends who stops you, why, and what sorta mood they're in.

However im sure there is gunna be lots of more helpful answers below.

3 points and a 60 quid fine for the exhaust and then the same for the small plate. You can buy plates with the BSAU number or what ever it is from ebay for your can though. and then polish off the "not"

I know a guy that got done for it a couple of weeks back. 6 fresh points so you might not "think" so but amazingly it does happen

I didnt think it was points either, a fine or a telling off, depends on who pulls you.
