The TRX has failed on the MOT for a number of things;
Reflector on the rear
Headlight alignment
And...exhausts
I honestly don't think I have original cans handy, I've never had an issue before but my previous garage isn't around. What are my options? ____________________ Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult.

You need a 99p red reflector and a friendly tester who's going deaf in his old age. |

I should have pointed out I have no issue with correcting mechanical issues. I've just been on the phone to a chap down the road who does MOTs, I didn't realise it's opinion and not done on DB meter. |
Going slightly OT, if they ever introduce Db meters, there's an awful lot of bikes that will be in trouble; when you test for noise, you're supposed to rev it to half max, so, in order to operate the throttle, the tester is always standing in front of the outlet, hence it's quieter to the tester's ear (that's the get out of jail card you can pull, if you get questioned about it )
If they used a Db meter in the same as they do at race tracks (which would be the only reasonable way) it would be placed behind the exhaust , so it will get the full volume.
Back OT, the problem seems to be the new RfR categories - I'm slightly speculating as I haven't had cause to question a noisy pipe since the new regs came in, but on the old system, you had the option to pass and advise, now it seems to be a major or nothing.
Sickpup is right, the DVSA have made no secret of the fact that they are going mystery shopper mad, so maybe they saw an unknown customer and made an example of you, or maybe the test station is already on a warning and didn't want to take a chance.
It's starting to look like the days of the 'lenient' tester might be numbered. ____________________ Things get better with age; I'm close to being magnificent........
