That's because most of yours has already fallen off

Back on topic

Looks good Northwind, the same sort of look I was going for with my stubby. Can't help but think the fuelling must be out and the bottom end torque affected, but who cares............

I like them new stubby cans, but as someone's said the look is quite heavily dependant on how it's mounted. Deffo looks good on yer bike.

Those tie wraps don't do anything for me though...

Reckon you can mount the can off the rearsets like with the R6 with a little bracket?

I can't listen to it just now, but I bet you a pound it doesn't Below 3000rpm it sounds like a supermoto, sorted the horrible overrun so now it's just bad, and it's so flat at constant revs, just plain nasty. But then, I'm very choosy (this is my 5th end can, and the last one got cut up about 3 tiems to tune the sounds )

Jase, I reckon if it's worth doing it's worth doing right- if I can't figure out some way to mount it to the rearset mounting bolts, I'll get a whole hanger with an extension made up. But first, I need to find a can that doesn't sound like a disaster.

I reckon a port per pot is the way to go!
