Hi jsp883, as this is your first post don't be disappointed if you don't get the answer you want. Sorry but you could be a MOT official looking for MOT stations that MAY I said may turn a blind eye or should I say ear? To noise levels. You need to meet your local folk and ask direct. Sorry we are a bit cagey on certain questions like how to by pass and immobilise H-D alarms from people we do not know.

You will see that this club/site can be MORE than helpfully to all new and established members so please don't give up on us. Get out there and go to a local meet.;)

PS.this is not an official committee/web admin line..... just mine on me own...

thanks for your reply,i take your point,this is why i changed the blind eye/ear bit in original post.

i have seen threads in the past where the best place to go for mot is discussed,mainly in the sussex area,where ive just moved from,so i didnt think it would be a problem,
maybe i should have said 'can anyone recommend an mot station in the nottingham area'
cheers

The law on loud pipes has changed... They can only fail your bike if the exhaust is defective or STAMPED NOT FOR ROAD USE...........

You should have no probs...
Give your local bike shop a call and ask them...

I thinks the s/e pipes are stamped not for road use.
