What's the score with MOT's and exhaust markings now?

[Pete.]

Are they failing MOT's for lack of a mark now, or is it just a ticket off the cops?
If there's a mark needed - what is it please? BSAU/EC or what? I can print one out on metallised paper if needed but I need to know asap coz my exhaust is home made

Didn't check for that at my last mot recently. Think the exhaust is custom made by a company called rilmac and doesn't have any stamps or baffles in.

Nice! Can also get removable baffles on eBay. Never tried them though.

They don't normally take to much notice,
It all depends on the MOT station that you are going to, as long as it's not excessively loud !

Find an MOT station that's run by bikers for bikers.
I was under the impression that no markings are fine, the only markings an MOT man had to consider are 'not for road use' - has this changed??

If you have to explain to an officer why your can is suffering grinder marks then you deserve it! Get a mate with a steadier hand to do it next time

Haha, you can hardly notice it, it's pretty flat just its matte instead of shiny like the rest of the rivet strap thingy.

Or just put a sticker over it.

Sack that off Too much effort and its only small and underneath so I can't get a sticker there. If I really could be bothered I would drill out the rivets, flip the little strap inside out and re-rivet it, sorted

Personally I don't really care about loud exhausts. If they're blowing badly then obviously it's an issue. I very rarely fail a bike for an exhaust. In my opinion it's got nothing to do with the safety of the machine. I hate having to fail a number plate too, but some people take the piss with their tiny plates. They could at least TRY to make my life easier.

Well, as it 'appens - it was a non-issue, the tester was cool and very complimentary about the whole bike. Passed with no advisories

So now it's tested, and taxed and I just got back from a couple of hours gentle shake-down. Boy, was it good to be out on the road with the old girl again
