I'm about to buy a bike for the wife and I'm wondering about restrictor kits
I know she needs to have one fited but what the full stroy with cerfiticates and insurance etc etc
I am more than able to fit it my self but will the insurance be happy with that?
and how do I get a certificate if I do fit it myself ??

a mate got one fitted to his bike. as far as i know to get the certificate, its got to be fitted by a garage or somone qualified to issue them out. you could ask if a dyno printout would suffice then you could fit them yourself. personally i never had an insurance company ask me for one and i dont know anyone else that has. but they could get funny about it if you had to claim.

luckily i had mine with my bike. Its got the certificate stating 33bhp and overleaf im sure its got the garage that fitted it etc, although i dont see why a dyno printout wouldnt do it. It will cost u around the £200 mark to get it restricted by a garage. If you want i can get the measurements from my restictors? cos they aint fitted atm.

Ive read somewhere that the certificate isnt a legal requirement, how true that is i dont know. I dont know anyone who has been asked for restriction certificate by thier insurance, i didnt get asked for mine when i had an accident by either the police or my insurance company. But i sent it to the insurance company anyway, and even then they didnt phone up asking what it was for.
