Default Which can???

I finally sorted out the speedo problem...was the sensor...bloody typical had to be the most expensive part with Xmas coming up...BAH HUMBUG!!
Anyway need too pick your brains a bit more.
I'm looking for an after market pipe for the bike now which one would you lovely people suggest?? Is it best to get a full system or just the can??and if i fit one will i have to upgrade the jets as im told this will make the engine run hotter or is someone pulling my wire?
Merry xmas

Default can

As i'm sure other people will tell you it depends on two things, your budget, and what you are after, noise or real performance.
Could you be a bit more specific? your question will be answered by someone soon!!
Brands vary widely, as does price, you could spend <100 to >500pound new, depends what you want!!

I recently purchased a Scorpion end can from the NEC show!

WOW....fantastic sound and well worth the money! Well made, look the nuts and sound guuurrrrrreeeeaaattttt!!!

I have a clip when ticking over but cannot describe what it sounds like under load, in town, without the baffle in! Proper head turner! Makes you even more proud to be a V twin owner..

Remember that with a full system you'll probably want to rejet as well... If you can do that yourself then fine, but otherwise it'll add to your bill. Unless you plan to do other tuning I'd stick with slip-ons, modifying breathing for power on the SV is expensive.

Plus, at your price range you'd be dredging Ebay. Good systems can be had for amazing prices- I've got 2 WRP race systems in the garage, one cost £200 (bargain) and one cost £80 (ridiculous bargain) Delighted. The twins I used to use were £250... But then I sold 'em for over £500

i have a Scorpion end can on mine, whilst there are loads of different one's about i must admit it was the build quality that swung me, i had a carbon can co end can on my bandit which was well made & never a problem but the Scorpion one was the one for the SV, sounds dam good too especially now the baffle has (cough cough) fallen out officer.
Got mine off the net from a shop in Norfolk which was the cheapest by far, think it was seastar superbikes or something like that, can't remember for sure but someone on here will correct me if i am wrong, i plumped for the oval stainless one.
Good hunting.

Default CCC

You can't go wrong with the CCC. Top quality and price and it sounds fantastic with or without the easily removable baffle. As a company they are excellent to deal with.100%
