CBR600FX road legal exhaust

Yo, looking for an aftermarket can for my CBR. So far the only road legal one I have found is a Scorpion that has a removable baffle. Do any of you know another manufacturer that makes these or have bought one themselves? Only stipulation is that it has to be road legal (e-marked), cheers in advance!

Art do road legal ones now - www.artexhausts.com

I had one on my CBR, though not a road legal one, and it sounded lovely.

Does a road legal can have to have an E mark anymore?

NO. Emark is irrelevant from what I hear. For MOT the can is supposed to be on a par with the standard can and not marked "not for road use". This is going to be down to the tester.

However, travel to Europe with a non E marked can and its a bust.

I can see this being a big grey area for the police too.

I agree. If the powers that be are not sure of what is and is not legal what chance do we stand.

Or maybe its a ploy and a clever trick. Make it impossible for bikers to know if they are legal or not then they will stick with standard cans.

YEA. course we will

Hi Villers,

Much the same as yourself its my first 600,
Like you say they do seem forgiving although only had
mine for a few weeks and have not really pushed it yet.
Bad luck on the key what a pain, i had the indicator relay
bugger up but luckly still under warranty.
So far love the bike and hate getting off. Thumbs Up

I had a Micron road legal can on my blade and it sounded quite good.

Think it was around £160.

Got it from Demon Tweeks.

I think arrow do them for the fx, they certainly do for the f1 on. And akra may well do them, they're top cans.

I have a Quill T3 road legal can from JB Racing ( https://www.jbracing.co.uk ). Looks and sounds good to me.

Thanks all, appreciate it! Bendy, ive got the standard settings for the bike in a manual, I just wish I had the ability to set it up just pertfect for me! but nevermind its fun as it is!! Wink

Plenty places will set it up for you, though I'd venture that 11 stone is probably about the mean that bikes are set up for anyway.

I'm going to get mine set up for the track next year (100% have suspension specialists at some trackdays) and see how much of a difference it makes.

The single exit Blueflame titanium cans look really nice and are really good VFM in my opinion. The baffle is held in position by a Circlip thats easy to remove/replace. They also look very nice in coloured titanium depending on the colourscheme of your bike. Think they are about £260 ish. I wnted a Blueflame can at the NEC, but i never saw the stand, until i was on my way out, and it was too late then, as i had been offered an excellent deal on an Akrapovic titanium can by this time, even though it was £50 more expensive. Oh well!
