what you mean the baffle? - it's safely installed... under the pillion seat


Quiff - it looks tiny in the pictures but in the flesh it actually balances the bike quite well visually, much nicer than the rocket launcher i removed


edit: and oh the noise... without the baffle i swear it's louder than a friends SV and she has a micron race can on hers

Sounds lovely mate!

I just cant get my head round the stubby cans, perhaps its just a marmite thing, out of interest how much was it?

i reckon it's definitely a marmite thing, some people love them but other hate them, same as the pointy curvey argument

if you did ever want one in titanium it could be yours for the kings ransom of £319.99 - carbon is £300 and stainless is £216

Ouch!

What made you go with that over a CCC or FUEL can then mate?

Just the shape?

[the_lone_wolf]

it was the look mostly, i really wanted some GP style exhausts just poking out of the fairing but they would have been crazy loud even compared to this, i didn't fancy one that stuck out further than the back of the bike simply for aesthetic reasons. i'd heard of carbon cans (the material not the company) having some issues with V-Twin engines and i didn't want stainless so i went for ti as it was only £20 more than carbon. when i did a bit more research most of the longer cans seemed to make the exhaust note more booming than barking, without wanting to repeat myself this sounds very aggressive when you give it the beans...

edit: and some of it definitely had to be the exclusivity factor, i'd yet to see an SV with one of these fitted this side of the atlantic, although my dealer had two other come in with my order so they must be popular

Perhaps your starting a new trend over here mate!
