Thanks Mark I appreciate that. Watch this space. Nin don't be so hard on yourself. Thats our job and Smog Bob. It's only the people that come here to enjoy our 'tax-light' regime that have money. Jersey Beans (those of us born and bred here) are not always so well off. I'm not complaining it is a lovely place to live. Oh and don't get me started on our local dealer service ratesYes you are! It’s easy enough and there’s enough superb support on this forum. The XiED unit (not that I’ve ever had one) will be superb I’m sure or the RapidBike Easy unit (which I do and use myself) is good - either will change your AFR and should get it running less lean. If I can ever help with (just) advice feel free otherwise and as I said - there’s masses of great support available on the forum.

I don't want to be a party pooper but:
THIS PRODUCT DOES NOT MEET EMISSION COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR STREET OR HIGHWAY USE.
Is what it says on the website.
As expressed on other threads, I'm all for rebelling against the establishment on things like this. However, I'd be interested to know how you get past an MOT or a routine (or otherwise) stop from the local constabulary?
Sadly, in Spain, they are unusually shit hot on homologation issues. They are, for instance, one of the few countries that will not allow you to have any other tyre on your bike (or, indeed, car) than those stipulated on the technical sheet - not make of tyre, but width and depth and diameter. So, for instance, my car can have a 17" or 19" tyre fitted, but no other size. I can't even change the profile of it outside of 10% of what is stipulated. You can have tyres added but it requires an inspection. Similarly for exhausts; you can only have the ones fited to the bike or homologated optional ones that you can buy from the dealer.
Eliminating the CAT and anything else fitted at homologation is a big no-no here in Spain and will earn you a fine if stopped by the police and they spot it, and fail the MOT. The MOT requirements in Spain (only available, by the way, at official test centres and they can be lengthy and detailed) have recently changed now as well and they have seriously targetted emissions in particular. They also plug their machines into the brain of vehicles to see if anything has been altered, thus ruling out many of the "hilltop" type mods as well.
Do you guys just place the original back for the MOT and then place the TITs back again afterward?
We don’t have MOT’s in Jersey. Never have (the assumption being that our Bentley’s, Aston’s and Ferrari’s are road worthy ). Our coppers do take notice of a pimped end can and will report you of it is not stamped correctly however I would not think that they would think to look at the headers if the bike had a standard BMW end can on. That said the point of the mod is to make the bike even better when away on it. Sometimes in Spain.............
Don't think this has been answered, but do you need to put the standard headers with Cat back on for every MOT in the UK?
Damn! That means I have some money to spend on some titanium headers thenNope.
Just come back from france
