The Fuel Diablo That I am running with the baffle fitted gives a lovely deep tone without compromising that all important low down torque that is so essential to the SV,s appeal. When I was at Fuel we did recordings of the can both with baffle in and out but I would caution against these on two counts, 1) Recordings do not give a very accurately represent the true sound of the can. 2) The recordings are made with a brand new can which will sound different (better) after a few thousand miles. For what it's worth I think the Fuel Diablo sounds terrific without being offensive and is a very high quality piece of equipment which I would have no hesitation in recommending. Hope this is of help.

I'll be running michelins next Geoff, might leave these on for a few miles though as I rarely ride in bad weather these days unless I actually get caught out in it. I may even get a set of the PR2's as I've had them on other bikes and loved the feel. I did hear the FUEL video which I take it was your bike so that's on my list, I do like the yoshimura alpha too but it's nearly 200 quid more for the carbon. I also need a belly pan and rear hugger, so it will be ermax or the carbon look alike from puig which seem a reasonable price.
