If your microns have "not for road use" or do not have a BSI stamp on them then the baffles wont do you any good, you'll need road legal cans for the mot.

I got a set of standard cans you can have for the price of postage if it helps.

I thought they'd changed it slightly and down to MOT testers discretion if not marked as they don't have to be now with all the removable baffles etc - but yeah it should be a fail if marked for race use etc

I've never had baffles in nor had E stamp on my cans for mot's and never failed and no bribery required

Ian,

It looks like your BS number (BS EN 10088) is the standard for the quality of the stainless steel used in the can construction, well the ends anyway if that's where the stamp is

Chris.

PS. My Scorpion cans don't have any BS standard or any other marks on them, but my bike goes through the mot with them fitted

I think it is as Stu says, down to the discretion of the tester. After saying that the next time I take my bike for it's test I probably find they've changed the rules

I didn't think they had to have any markings on, BUT if they specifically said "Not for Road Use" then they would be illegal anyway?

If it say "not for road use" then they're illagal and won't get thro an MOT

If they are non-standard and not marked then the MOT Examiner can make a judgement.

microns are stamped "not for road use" just where the removable baffle screw is, your cans are road legal and mot friedly untill you remove the baffles matey
