Oh no - I'm going to have to try and get my baby to pass too in a couple of weeks. Hopefully if I tape up the holes underneath it'll be ok.

Can't see the dunger, there's a red plastic thing in the way, but from the look of the rear hub and jampot, I'd say it's Matchy...

I made sure to get one in the pic - I was waiting for an eagle eye old fart.There were TWO! - that one is a 350 AJS (I'll forgive you the blunder) there was also an identical year 350 Matchless,they were later model with flat oil tanks and both had forward mounted magnetos,so hard to tell apart without seeing a big ''M''.

The 851 has Staintune exhausts - I class them as replacement OE,and although they sound really nice they aren't a lot noisier than stock...at least to my ears :yeah: You gotta read the label though....they sould be Stiantunes,then they don't pass.

Yes I must say I am twelve - and have a very bad vocabulary I must use multilayered words so that there is more than one meaning to my statement so that I can be PC to everyone, since they can interpret it to their current pollitical standings.

Yes age depreciation would be nice. :done:

Yeah, I spotted that they were Satantunes. :devil2:
Did they have the restrictors in?
On the VifFerraRi, it's pretty much as quiet as stock (if not slightly quieter) with the restrictor ('spud') in, but not with it out. And now that I have two (2!) restrictors, I have a choice of Evil!, NaughtyButNice, or Stealth. Today was the first day of NaughtyButNice, and on the way to work I thought, "Ehhhh!! Is that it?!?", but I went for a ride just now without the Ventura bag on the back, and was rather pleased with the sound. :2thumbsup
However, I must say that the high-mount Satantunes don't sound as nice as the ornery ones, nor as nice as Microns, Scorpions, etc., as the 'muffler' is small, so the internal volume is too, resulting in a tone that is higher-pitched than is good for optimal pipe music.
N'er mind; at least it shows off the back wheel, looks kewl, and goes alright.

how many WoF places would've failed it do you think Motu?
The Satantunes with restrictors have been made to be road-legal in Australia, and you can get compliance labels attesting to this, so they would pass with the restrictors in, but are over 100 dBA with them out. :yeah:

In australia yes, but what about with the mickey mouse legislation ( or lack of) we have here?

I think an ADR-compliance label here would satisfy many of the WOF dunderheads, and any that were commonsensical. Some of the bureacrats will never be happy with anything other than OEM zorsts (and even then not necessarily).
Which reminds me - must remove that factory-fitted compliance label (the one that states that the non-existent zorst with serial number XXXXX is very quiet and goodly...) :confused:

That's why I fitted a noisy as superttrap on my XT - it was so bloody quiet with ear plugs in that without a tach I had no idea if I was lugging it or screaming the shit out of it...now I got Alpine ear plugs I can hear the exhaust easy...maaaaybe I'll go back to the heavy stock exhaust one day.
