Hello -here's the end result of a few hours work-I asked if anyone had a damaged race can for sale and ended up buying kwak's damaged scorpion- the stubby sounds great and I'm quite happy with the look-ended up not needing to use a hanger as the cans so light -no difference in the performance ,but happier with the look.

Looks nice, but even if it's a lot lighter I can see a fatigue failure of the exhaust pipe over a period of time when subjected to all the heat and vibration.

Wider photo is needed

Looks really good, it's usually the can hanger that makes really short stubbies look out of proportion I reckon.

I rode without a strap on my stubby for a short while, but got worried that it could fall off, being unrestrained, and cause somebody to have a serious accident. Did look better without though.

You could weld loops onto the can and pipework, and then use springs to retain the exhaust... Then the only risk is that it breaks in half, or the rivet holes oval and split, or the rivets break

Is that a standard chopped down or can you buy them like that now? Either way, mine is a standard scorp and that is loud - i dread to think how loud that is!
