jammyhl · Nov 28, 2012

If I fitted one of these is going to pass an MOT or will I need to put the original back on?:

As it stats no Catalytic converter not road legal then no it will not pass an MOT

They don't have a smoke test for bikes do they ?
Had loads of
Bikes with no cat pass the mot

Just what I was wondering - think its mainly just the E mark they look for ...?

It will sail through mate. The stupid thing is, even my race stubby system which is loud as fuck is E marked. I'm not sure having that will ensure an MOT pass.

As already stated there is no emissions test for bikes yet !

He might be pissed off if you set fire to his probe mind

The beemer hasn't needed an MOT yet obviously - but i'm sure my Honda had an emissions part to the MOT this year in April?? Or am I mistaken? (I'm positive it did :-\).

ive never had a road legal exhaust on any of my bikes and not one has ever failed the MOT because of it
does help where i take my bikes he actually races bikes so he always passes them without asking

I take my bikes to the local centre (harly dealership in lakeside) and he just laughed at the "pea shooter" noise of the full race termi system on my ducati Lol.

You'll be fine, bike test centres are, on the whole, a sound bunch of blokes
