Posted this in SVA section but can anyone offer any more advise on a CAT and where people have got one from.

I am assuming the problem is being tested as a 900cc car rather than a 900cc bike. If so what should I have it tested as at my local garage/MOT place?

If the engine numbers in the Haynes manual do not preclude the engine from being pre-95 "could" I get away with declaring it as a zx9 B1? or will they require something specific to the engine number.

you'll need to prove its age, otherwise we'd all be doing it

Mmmmm.
So will I need a letter form Kawasaki or a dealer ?

Reason for mentioning the Haynes numbers was am sure thats been said on here before that it was sufficient. Then again I guess if it spans 1995 I guess they will err on the wrong side of 1995!

I used a the Haynes manual. I told him what it was then showed the manual but he didn't seem to take much interest in the book once I'd told him. Guess I have a trusting manner!
As for the cat, I got something like the universal one off Ebay like this]thi s but I got it from the USA as the dollar was low and I managed to skip the VAT man. Welded to an R1 can I sailed through.

Good to know thanks for your help.

Guess what I am wondering is if they will buy it being a pre-95 engine if the Haynes manual backs that up engine number wise?

Thinking I might just have to get a CAT off Ebay anyway.
