SILLY QUESTION I KNOW BUT

Post by RICHARD D »

PLEASE FORGIVE MY IGNORENCE PEOPLE BUT DO I NEED A SEPERATE SINGLE SEAT OR DOES A REAR SEAT COWL JUST COVER THE PILLION SEAT IF U GET WHAT I MEAN . ALSO HOW DOES DE BAFFLEING A SET OF STANDARD CANS AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE BIKE AND WOULD IT PASS AN MOT WITH IT DONE

the seat cowl covers the pillion seat. it just clips on, but you need to remove the seat to take it off.
easy - just unlock it and it should slide back!
cans?
yes it makes a difference in performance (imo) as it reduces backpressure and lets the bike rev free-er

either that or it just sounds faster so you ride it harder.
at the discretion of the mot guy whether it passes or not - there doesnt seem to be any pattern of logic to bikes passing / failing on noise.

but imo you are better keeping them standar(ish) because as soon as you debaffling them you will want some fancy cans - might as well keep the std ones as they are :biggrin

rule of thumb is...over 101db it's a fail...but no test centres have meters yet...most testers(including me) turn a blind eye to cans unless the minastry mans there,then it's a fail..not that we like failing them but because we have too..

keep the standard cans standard m8 and fit some after market ones,i've got twin microns fitted and they sound fantastic...ebay..theres a few systems on atm.
