Exhaust systems
Seamus:
The noise level for these older bikes is down to the discretion of the MoT examiner. I used to get a Z1000 with a Vance @ Hines with very little baffle through as the guy liked the sound. If the system is not redicusly loud, the you may be OK
Bryanj:
Seamus, they have changed the rules again. What the test book says now is that it must be as quiet as the standard exhaust in good condition so you need a tester you have know for years who trusts you to get away with anything else------ESPECIALY as VOSA now have the capability to sit just out of sight with a laptop and tell the instant he prints a ticket so they can knock on the door within minutes and ask to retest the bike themselves!!
Seamus:
Interesting point Bryan. First you must find a tester the remembers how loud a bike of that age was!! Not too many with original exhausts to compare against...
Always worth a chat with the tested before hand to see how they feel about the noise.
Cheers
Seamus
Bryanj:
Well as an unoficial asside my tester was told that if he would be pissed off by the bike going past his bedroom at 3am it should fail!
Seamus:
If his bedroom is on the 15th floor, then it could be pretty loud
