Hi All
My handbook says my Firestorm is fitted with a catalytic converter. I assume it is in the exhaust end cans. I have Carbon Co tri ovals fitted so will she fail an mot on emmissions?

Not likely
They don't do emmisions tests on bikes
So fit a jet kit and juice it up a bit

My new ride is a bit of a Howler and I love to make her Squeal

Maybe confusing the PAIR system on US bikes? Never heard of a cat on one though.
Two bikes, still only four cylinders!

After I'd typed it I thought "someone will react" and sure enough. What a cute little pussy.

[quote="FirestormMike- That is the reason I avoided "cat" and put catalytic..." quote]
I can't see how you know that cat had been drinking.
Surely he'd have fallen off?
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Don't come much narrower than a cat's.
Still, I guess it's all to do with what you've got to insert.
