Forgive me DanB as an acoustics and road-law newbie, IANAL etc, but my guess is that that silencer would not be acceptable to local police. B^>

(The local teenagers would kill for it though!)

I use an E-Flite meter which I think may be similar to the 'Doc Wattson', though I use mine mainly as a self-powered digital voltmeter and don't leave it connected to the battery all the time. It might be worth looking out for as an alternative stock line...

Hi Damon - I had never seen or heard of that meter till you mentioned it. It looks very nice/useful as well.. very similar. To make life easy for other folks:

One drawback of the eflight meter is the upper limit of 50V.

The 50V limit is no limit for me on my tiny 12V system! B^>

"that silencer would not be acceptable to local police" meaning then they might notice the lack of lights, License Plate, and Registration?
I'm sure he wouldn't use it on public roads either way.

What, you need that stuff in the US? B^>

The only way for a boy racer on a motorbike to get arrested in the UK it seems is to actually film themselves for YouTube doing at least about twice the maximum UK speed limit, preferably though a housing estate past a nursery school etc etc, and post the clip with full details of where they can be found, girls they wished they had known, etc...
