 |

had 'not for road use' filed off by the MOT bloke. Its obvious its been filed off and the exhausts are ear splitting loud. 
So if a copper pulls me im a bit screwed, any ideas about how to cover up the filed off bit? i dont think polishing it will help... 
no im not putting a stock can on...

Used to be the case that people got done for 'Perverting the course of justice' or whatever, for those.
Polishing it out is usually surprisingly effective. |

Thats only if you put it there, if you say it was like it when you bought it then the worst should be a slapped wrist. I had one on a exhaust for three years and never got into any bother over it and always went through the mot's ok.
But I agree polishing the shit out of it with autosol and a dremel or polishing wheel on a drill is just as effective

The MOT regs say that any exhaust must be no louder than the stock system in good condition would be. If your bike is really that loud the cops could also nick you for noise pollution, as they did the lads 3 doors down from me many years back.

I will let you know when the D&D is strapped to the 1200 then 
I know they dont have to believe you. The guy asked for some advice, I gave it. I'm not saying nor am I implying that it's perfectly legal but how many hundreds of bikers do you see going past on a sunday in the sun with an exhaust on so loud that you can hear it over your own wind noise, engine and can.
People will do it anyway, fact.
In the laws eyes then, polishing it out is just as bad for covering it up thus still perverting the course of justice.
I'm keeping the standard can off the Bandit to put back on in case of any such problems.

what about sticking one of the stickers on and buying a removable baffle so if all goes tits up and i can just stick the baffle in and get the MOT.
Its about as loud as most harleys if that a good indication?
