Hello mateys, got my can back today from the gentleman that is northwind. Not going to say a price because I don't think he'd want to be swamped with requests, so I'll leave that up to him.

I know last pic is a bit crap, but hey, it's fun riding it! As I was told, much better (and louder :twisted: ) noise. Very impressed Mr. Cunningham, thank you very much.

Just a sidetrack here. Is that blue rim tape on your wheels or that reflective one?
Do you like it or wish you hadnt bothered now?
I'm still in 2 minds about doing that to mine.

It's blue, motrax stuff, flourescent as you can see. Yeah, I like it, wish I'd got it straighter though.

I have the stock can on at the moment (MoT due today (http://forums.sv650.org/viewtopic.php?t=36792)) I am going to cut my Renegade down to have it mounted low level and extremely stubby. Will see how it goes.
