    Taken the can off of the bike to remove the baffle on my akrapovic can but the hole in the carbon fibre does not match up where the nut is to release the baffle and I can't get to it.

    Any ideas people?:mad:

    Why does it make it illegal? My dealer offered to take it out when I picked the bike up.

    .
    Yep, I've had lots more people looking over there shoulder now when I get near them. I've been toying with the idea of putting it back in as it'll attract pc plod when I'm giving it the gun, and we wouldn't want that now would we!
