maybe a nice titanium can ccc or fuel, beowulf maybe i'd avoid putting anything carbon fibre on a v-twin as it'll wreck it so ive heard.

if it isnt a race can i'd imagine theyd be alright outta the box my fuel can was might want to check with the supplier first though just to be sure.

Doesn’t Scorpion offer a guarantee on their carbon cans even on a v twin?
I think they are the only ones that do, something about a liner inside the can or something, there's a thread in hear somewhere about it, I think.

My CCC carbon split on the lower seam, shame because it looked really nice!

beowulf can on mine - 150 quid, easy to fit, no remapping, sounds woof :) mind you I think the cheapest crapest can off ebay would make the sv sound amazing - the standard can makes it sound like a sewing machine (quote courtesy of yorkie chris).

I recently fitted a blue flame evo can to my k3 done it myself, took all of 15 maybe 20 mins and its absolutely awesome sets car alarms off etc with only 1 of the baffles out! costs a little over 200 tho so might be a bit pricey for you costs even more for the carbon too :(

Any road legal or race can will go on fine with no remapping needed. Take your pick. None of them add any power, it's just looks and sound.
