Default End Can Weights.

As my Art can is going to new home tomorrow possibly I thought I'd be a geek and weigh the end cans I have around here.

Standard can: 4.6kg

Stainless Art Can: 2.1kg

Titanium Akrapovic: 1.5kg

Titanium Stubby: 1kg

yeah, that's a good tyre warmer, they recently resurfaced the bembridge to sandown road, only a few miles but nice and twisty and very smooth

Pah, 60 miles. It's not worth getting the bike out for that.

Still I suppose that's a far as you can go on your pointy rack.

Going out tomorrow with Sean. Bet the weather changes.

my stubby has no packing and therefore (Nil weight) lifting my rear suspension, which makes more front end grip ... the exhaust is a counter balance thrusting againt the tarmac.. (high level exhaust) and since the roads around here toward Hartside are mint... then ..
I had a really good day out today. It was totally mint...
cheers for asking.

over and out
