catalytic converter for ULEZ

Post by zakisbak » Sat Jun 12, 2021 7:59 am

The garage in London that gets bikes through the ULEZ regulations tells me that the TRX 850 will require catalytic converters to pass.
The test is about £200,tuning about £200.
If the cats are are another say £200 each,it's adding quite a bit to the prospective cost of buying the bike.
Any idea how much they cost?

A quick google search turns out various products at various prices.. Never heard or read feedback from someone retrofitting a cat converter (ppl usually go the other way) but frankly, sounds like an expensive headache so I really wouldn’t bother! Seen quite a few old bikes riding around central London too and very much doubt their owners have retrofitted cat converters.. :roll:

I’ve been toying with either putting one of my TRX’s back to stock & through that test to see what the score is or simply getting a commuter bike that’s ULEZ compliant.. but with Covid & the whole work from home thing, that dilemma of mine’s been postponed until further notice :lol:
