MOT - Rac Cans

I presently have a fantastic set of 50mm titanium termi's attached to my glorious grey 748s. So far no problem, however i now hav to get an MOT carried out on the bike. Does anyone know of any "biker friendly" MOT service centres who will allow me to pass the MOT test without having to remove the cans? I live in south west london however i flexible travel surounding areas if needs be. Any advice is welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Well i would have thought that a ducati dealer would mot the bike too, to be honest, but my bike is getting serviced as we speak at a big london official dealership, and they won't do it, in fact they want me to pay £79.50 plus vat for an hour and a half labour to change the cans back to standard for the mot test and then will put the race cans back on afterwards.

never use them again then.
did they sell you the cans ?
try somewhere else. the problem being is by all accounts you are not supposed to pass race cans, so its not easy to ask over the phone,
but there are plenty out there who will.
vote with you're feet

it would be saying but yes it was DLS!!!!!!!

I only took it to them as it is 10 minutes from my house and it needed a service and some bodywork repair, etc etc. They did not sell me the cans, i bought them from P&H in crawley (i bought the bike there also), a top company and a top bunch of people, it was just that it was too far to drive.

I have had a couple of people contact me via u2u, thanks to all, i have spoken to one compnay who said that as long as the cans do not have "not for road use" stamped on them and they are not too loud (fat chance of this - 50mm) then they will pass it, bearing in mind i have the origionals.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing!!!!
