Quote:[quote name="Snowbird" post="383443" timestamp="1601476304"]I agree they are very embarrassing now
Was it always loud and you've gone off it or has it got louder? The popping on the overrun suggests a leak
Always loud Snowbird but bordering on embarrassing now. It's a one piece so no joints. Looks like it'll have to be another hand made or the Dual system from Dominator. Lots of 2 in to 1 systems but I can't live with a single sided exhaust...........

Mine failed MOT 2 years ago for exhaust being too loud. I had Beowulf made but not branded units on. Gone back to Stock now. A bit on the heavy side but fit under my fairly small panniers so no probs with them.

It surprises and annoys me the difference in what MOT testers will and won't allow. Aftermarket cans, HIDs, etc. A car MOT guy I spoke to says he doesn't fail smokey diesel cars because the owner only asks him to fix them..... and it is usually a PITA.

My usual MoT guy wears heading aids so I've never considered choice of silencers to be a big issue

However on moving to the Netherlands I was rather surprised to discover that motorbikes don't need an APK (MoT equivilent), but posting this has reminded me I need to book the car in for it's APK ASAP!

No MOT Chris G ? Like the isle of man then but maintenance a must

No MOTs here either... but if it were like the biannual car inspections, I believe my standards are higher than theirs.

Here (NL) cars are checked every year. Only the first few years are exceptions. I'm glad motorbikes don't need this yet. It's primarily a riders own risk. For cars this is different (more chance to injure someone else in an accident).
With two bikes (next to my car) it would be quite a hassle... not driving many bike kilometers lately. Also with some non-standard parts fitted.
