The girlfriend wants a new exhaust..
 
My other half has a faired black K5 and is looking around for a slip on to replace the gurt hunking original exhaust. We've had a look around and CCC seem pretty good. I think she's settled on getting a carbon exhaust, but hasn't settled on the style (round, oval etc).

What can you guys and girls recommend? Do you have a carbon exhaust and have some pictures of it? She'd love to have a look at what other people have got as seeing a picture of an exhaust on its own isn't really the same as seeing it on a bike :)

Cheers!

i used to have one on my curvy and loved it. now have a fuel after a lowside mashed it. would have gone ccc again but the fuels removable baffle is fitted with an allen bolt rather than a rivot and i was told by some that carbon cans ie. the material. can and do rattleapart more easily on v twins because of the vibrations.

Here's a piccy of mine with a Scorpion carbon end can.
There are issues about v twins and carbon sleeves. Apparently the carbon can be destroyed by the pulses of the twin. Scorpion get round this by putting a ceramic sleeing inside their carbon end cans. This means that Scorpion are still able to offer a lifetime warranty with carbon where everybody else will only offer 12months.

Ive just had one done at http://www.jbracing.co.uk/quill_exhausts_t3.cfm i have a friend in work whose got a pair on his Z1000 and they sounded mean on his bike so i went up had a look and decided to buy one sounds great get a few little pops when i let of the throttle i have a Candy Blue Pointy and went for the anodised titanium was ?290 fitted with a lifetime warranty, although i did have a race can already on it when i bought it so didnt have to cut the standard one off only changed it because the one i had on 1st the guy i bought it off grinded the NOT FOR ROAD USE off it and it was obvious when i got pulled by the police.

Anyway to the point i recommend these guys 100%, there in Globourne....
