Don't know about that can, but the Micron that came with my T'cat was really quiet, so no issues there.
That said, the exhaust on my R1 is really loud and the number plate is tiny. The tiny plate came when I bought it, but I was given a full size plate too for MOTs. Never fitted it yet. Never had a spot of bother from anyone about it yet! Not even the MOT tester ____________________ 2004 R1 & 2018 XSR900 |

I read that a few years ago these plates were available to buy as a way of disguising a non road legal can "look officer it has 'E' stamped on it " this can wouldnt of had a baffle, it doesn't even have the fitting for one, so that makes sense. However i fitted it the can last night and its not what i would call 'loud' it has a nice deep grunt to it but not such that an MOT tester would deem it too loud for the road

The late cans were really well made, re-buildable with nice rubber seals at each end and stainless fittings and end plates.
Couple that with the serpent hydroformed full race systems that made gains like Akrapovic systems, and it still puzzles me how Micron went out of business?
If they were here today, they make a fair living just out of re-producing the famous 80's two stroke systems for 125's and 250's for us older people wanting to spunk cash on re-creating our early bikes with the mods of the time. |
Early 90s ey?? i shouldnt think you'll be too impressed by the next couple of pictures. i took the bike out for its first ride with the new can today, and i was rear ended at a ring road junction, by a lady who was heavilly pregnant and who's mind was probably elsewhere. me and the bike hit the ground, im okay but the bike the bike's fairing is scuffed and cracked, there are two dents in the tank, handlebars are bent, right indicator looks like it could be broken, and the micron can is destroyed. doesnt look too bad from a distance, but its still going to take a fair bit of work, money and new parts to put right. i have the ladies insurance details and i will be making the call tomorrow. it does beg the question why does this sort of BS keep happening to me

Thanks for sharing mate, that looks awesome. Was it just the front fairing that was damaged then? Also how much did the respray cost if you dont mind me asking?
Yes it is a great bike and ive really enjoyed riding it so far, so im not letting it beat me. I am a bit pissed about that exhaust though, but To be fair theres not a great deal wrong with the bike. I am struggling however to find someone local who can remove the dents paintlessly from the petrol tank, i know it can be done quite easily but a lot of companies will tell me it cant so they can respray the tank and charge me 3 times as much
