Re: £200 pound buring a hole in my pocket!
 

for the money you cant go wrong with the carbon can co or fuel cans both are very similar in quality! or if you want to something abit different the beowulf cans are very nice imo.

Re: £200 pound buring a hole in my pocket!

thanks for the shortcut mate but whats to point of them?

Re: £200 pound buring a hole in my pocket!
 

not alot realy unless you go racing! Go for a race can mate will sound sooo much better!! make sure its got a removable baffle so its road legal ish :-)

Re: £200 pound buring a hole in my pocket!
 

They alter your foot and leg position a bit more up and back to give you better ground clearence and a sportier body postion, they are probably alot stronger too, but the fully adjustable ones can be set to your personal preferences rather than the crappy stock pegs that you have to deal with. :D

Re: £200 pound buring a hole in my pocket!
 

Try a pyramid undertray. I had one fitted to my old SV and it kills two birds with one stone and doesn't require any cutting as far as I remember (although confirm this with them first).

Cheers,

Paul

Rearsets can be good crash protection too... Or alternatively, the fixed pegs can snap off entirely, or they can break the mounting lugs off the frame :rolleyes: But they look good. I find mine more comfortable too, I'm more locked into one position but it's a naturally comfy one, on long journeys it removes the temptation to sit badly.

But, with £200... Exhaust can, is what I'd get.

Re: £200 pound buring a hole in my pocket!
 

right im going to buy a can.

what should i buy?

witch sounds the best?

Re: £200 pound buring a hole in my pocket!
 

TBH they all sound good, the only can I'd stay away from is Blue Flame..

Have a read of the threads in the exhaust section, you'll find it here

On your sort of budget if it were me, I'd be looking for either a "Fuel" or "Carbon Can Company" exhaust. should find one cheap enough. They are around the £110 ish mark, so you'll have some pennies left over out of your budget, If you're a new rider, spend the rest on yourself and do a bikesafe ro sign up to IAM.

If you can stretch a bit past your budget, then have a look for a Remus exhaust, My other half has one on her K5 and it sounds really nice.

Re: £200 pound buring a hole in my pocket!
 

what would this be like?

Re: £200 pound buring a hole in my pocket!
 

you can get a carbon can co or fuel exhaust for that kind of money on ebay!

Re: £200 pound buring a hole in my pocket!
 

if you want to spend all your money get a scorpion street extreme in stainless i think you can get them for about £200-210 they look really good imo worth the extra money

Re: £200 pound buring a hole in my pocket!

Re: £200 pound buring a hole in my pocket!
 

:rolleyes: im anti backbox :D

Re: £200 pound buring a hole in my pocket!
 

:smt041 I love my topbox, exactly as much as I hate my top box, because it's exactly as ugly as it is practical. But anyone who needs one will probably know without asking I reckon.

Re: £200 pound buring a hole in my pocket!
 

i just couldnt not while there are rucksacks and tankbags in the world!

Re: £200 pound buring a hole in my pocket!
 

Yes! Northy is on my side!

Re: £200 pound buring a hole in my pocket!
 

It's when you go shopping... Put lid, gloves and back protector in top box, bliss. Then when you get back, throw all your messages in the boot, no mucking about with bungees, no heavy rucksacks... Magic. Plus, there's a certain extra frisson to overtaking other bikes while top-boxed up.

Course, I take it off as soon as possible afterwards, and hide it ;)

Re: £200 pound buring a hole in my pocket!
 

shopping goes in my van or if im on my bike either down the front of my jacket or in my rucksack :D

Re: £200 pound buring a hole in my pocket!
 

I couldn't have one as long as the Taste Police are still active in my area. Besides, I'm too young, don't stink of pi55 and don't own a BMW.

Topboxes are a no-no.

Re: £200 pound buring a hole in my pocket!
 

Haha - "Messages".

You're a Scot, obviously.

My ex-burd used to call her shopping "messages" - gorgeous girl who was into rubber/latex and stuff like that, so I could forgive her abuse of my language.

Re: £200 pound buring a hole in my pocket!
