Bugger.

Microns were some of the better sounding zorsts, and good quality.
Shame that...

What the hell? Thats like Ron Jeremy giving up porno.

I'd imagine super strict euro noise legislation helped to kill them off.

I think youll just find, that Micron is doing A OK with the car inductry side of the buisness, and the bike market is just to small to warrent the input required to keep it alive

Bugger, really liked their stuff too.

Damn thats a shame. I remember drolling over Micron's K7 Gixxer thou replacement. Surprised with the increase in bike use Micron can't make a go of it.

That stinks. I really liked their stuff. Top value for your money too. I fitted Micron cans to my CBR929, CBR1000RR and both 636s I owned. The metal finish was very good, never tarnished or rusted. Their kits were easy to install.

Micro were crap.I had two replacement link pipes on the bandit when the bracket broke,after six months, due to a basic badly designed welded joint.
Then I redesigned the joint and had it welded locally.
Then the weld between the exit tube and the end cap failed and I asked for my money back.
My Brother's bandit had the same system and suffered all the same failures.

Then I fitted a scorpion - their link pipe bracket failed too,so I went back to the Micron link pipe I modified.
The Scorpion can doesn't have a welded end cap,so it may last better.

Good British engineering
