Bearing in mind what you paid for that, thats disgusting, and i'd want my money back. Sod a new replacement.
I'd go somewhere else and buy another make...
Its amazing what people pay for a sheet of tin and a bit of wool these days..lol

Problem is i havent a receipt for it as i bought it off the fella at peases in braintree second hand, I've emailed Micron about it to see where i stand as they were quiet helpfull when i spoke to them last about a different question & they sent me some parts for it free of charge, so going to see how much it is for the internal parts, thats after i see if they will sort it foc of course, but think thats doubtfull.
Hopefully i will get something out of it though as the build quality is obviously ****e!
Im just glad it flew straight out & didnt damage the bike :grin2

Thats ****e fella, would have thought Micron will not be pleased either. Definately drop them or line and if you don't get a favourable response, send a letter to MCN.

I dunno mate. I quite like the look of the standard can and mine seems to ride better with it on as well :confused:
I'm thinking of taking the sheild plate off it and either mirror polishing it or making one at work out of 316 mirror plate.:reading

Got a phone call today saying that my Replacement Micron Race can had turned up, happy days!!!........................
Am then told that they have replaced my nice "Race" exhaust with a ****ty, crappy looking road legal version!!!!! :angrypun
For Fook sakes!!!! so now they have got to send that one back & then get a race one sent out!!!!! So in other words i've been waiting for over 3 weeks & still dont have a replacement!!!!

AT LAST!!!
It finally turned up today
Brand spanking new, in black this time to match the bike & im up £110 :grin2
as the one i bought from pease's was technically second hand as was used on the demo k6, so i paid £190 for that one but got it replaced with a brand new black version which is £299 normally :grin2
So you'll be able to hear me coming again........:grin2
Will fit it at the weekend...
