Ive got an akropovic with it on m8 on my gsxr and havent had a copper say anything......yet.
if they are clued up on bikes they know to look for that but the majority arent
You could try taking it off with a dremel or something?
Or you can get a British Standard plaque thingy to stick over the top
(all standard exhaust have a bs number on them)
Look in mcn for these

I got stopped at Helmsely along with about eight mates last year, all got our end-cans and tax checked - we were all road-legal, but the bunch just leaving ahead of us had been issued with fines, and another two of my mates have been fined in Helmsley on another occasion - both for having race cans on.

PS - it WILL be traffic officers, so they'll know what they're looking for.
Grinding the mark off would probably get you in more bother than it's worth IMO.

If caught with a can thats clearly marked not for road use you can expect a fine for it mate thats all and its the same for race visors and small plates .

Most places you'll get away with it no problem, it's just North Yorkshire that are shit-hot on them in our area
(I'm in Billingham btw)
