If the cans were hidden in the cowling and the exhaust ends stuck through out the back of the faring. That would have looked cool.

As it is. It just looks stupid.

Pete a better thing to do would be to strip the cans down and chop the perforated tube in half. Replace the front half of the perforated tube with a solid one.

Stubby noise, but keep the looks.
