wrap it as MOT man says what the can't see don't hurt ;-)
Can not loud so not problem there just don't want any issues with it if I get stopped for anything
Now then It may well be ok for the MOT man but if you do get stopped then it wont help because as far as I am aware the can has to say on it road legal or have the kite mark or whatever, so having nothing there will be an offense (I think)

That is very true. It does have to have the Kite Mark plus the BS number. However, I have a very good friend who was, until fairly recently, a Traffic Cop and he says that as long as it doesn't say "Not For Road Use" then they don't normally care what you have fitted.
I doubt that is the same for all areas though as we are all aware of "Jobsworths" and "Keen Newbies".


Some years ago I had a pair of Art cans fitted to a Firestorm. They were extremely feckin' loud and the bands were stamped "Not for road use". I bought a pair of plain bands off ebay, drilled out the rivets on the can and riveted the new bands on. I had the bike for about four years and never had a problem with mot or plod.
I could change my opinion, but then we'd both be wrong.
