I need to get an MOT for Bob as tax runs out at the end of the month. I can swap a few bits around to make it pretty much legal I think however I don't have the time or inclination to swap the pipes.
Does anyone know anywhere that will give me an MOT if I bring along standard pipes rather than fitting them?
Preferably north west but if it saves me swapping then reasonable distance considered.
Hello, haven't tested this yet, but I have been told by a reliable source that as long as the pipes don't explicitly have 'not for road use' stamped on them, you will be OK as the BS stamp is no longer mandatory....
Need to MOT mine soon so I'll let you know how I get on..
Had mine done last year in Wigan with carbon open pipes, no problems, the guy said they come with them in the crate don't they!. Here's your certificate.
Had mine Mot,d in Shavington,Cheshire,with Termis on.As said above BSI stamp no longer required,as long as "not for road use" isnt visible no problem,upto tester no judge if excessively noisy.
Took mine to my local bikeshop yesterday afternoon for his opinion and he didn't want to get involved... said he'd sooner give me the 15 quid to go somewhere else than run the risk himself.... Seems it is solely at the discretion of the tester..... Got a back-up plan for next week though..
Never ever had a problem myself, and I've never had a quiet bike since I started riding again 10 years ago Currently got 3 MOTed with carbon cans, 1 with no silencing at all, and 1 with a conti megaphone
