Usual 'easy' way is to take it to a dyno and shove a rag up the exhaust, make a home made throttle restriction or similar.

Or you could write 'it is 33hp, honest' on a bit of paper, which would have as much legal authority as anything else Smile

Nice reply Thumbs Down

surely someone has done it before? could i just get a dyno and give them the printout obviously showing the bike is 33.

Call them up and ask what they want.
The 'FI Certificate' is bizarrely linked to the rider, so from what they say is not relevant if you buy a bike with it on unless you pay to get it changed to your name or something silly - or so I'm led to believe.

even ebay can save you again.

btw they do look very good, i got one of these about a year ago for my wifes bike, although it is restricted had no certificate and thought we needed one.

my insurance company accepted a letter from my mechanic saying he had fitted the restrictors (which he actually did) but ring up and ask first if they will accept it.

First thing I would do is ask them what they regard as proof of restriction and why it wasn't mentioned when you took out the policy. As it wasn't requested then and there is no legal grounds to suggest it was required then it isn't required as part of the insurance contract although when it comes down to it your insurance is basically void anyway as it's a contract of good faith.
