I can highly reccommend fuel cans too. If you have a blue bike - then a Fuel Blue titanium can will look amazing. It just so happens that i have one for sale too!


Any end can will be a doddle to fit, just saw through the pipe and slip the new one on. Here is a thread with some pics of me fitting mine. Trust me - if i can do it anyone can.

clicky Thing.

PM me if you're interested in buying mine. It was just over ?200 less than 1 year and 3k miles agoand i'd let it go for ?100. Sounds amazing too.

lol - thanks pete - that Beowolf can is an oval stubby can (as they call it) I brought that one more cause it fitted the look of my bike but the sound is great - with the baffle in or out it sounds the same a low revs but when you open it up the baffle out sound is very nice and deep. _ would recommend but will need to do a meet to compare to others tbh - I love it though

Fitted a Fuel ovel stainless a few weeks back, piece of p1ss to fit, comes with simple instructions and a bar of Kendal mint cake too! Chuffed with quality and fruity sound of can and delivery was quick. Not tried it without baffle yet but may whip it out soon.

I'd heard beforehand that the original pipe was hard to cut with a hacksaw so borrowed a grinder off a mate. Was too rainy to grind outside so ended up having a go with the hacksaw and was glad i did. Took 5 mins to cut through and i ended up with a much neater cut.

i fitted a Carbon Can Co stainless oval about 3 weeks ago.
doddle to fit. i used an angle grinder to cut through the old pipe (used a 6" disc, so i could go at it from one direction, well away from the swing arm)

all took about 30 mins & came with instructions. IIRC i cut about 40mm up towards the standard can from the last weld & the new can slipped right on

good luck & post pics of what you end up fitting
