Re: Build Quality - Delkevic vs Fuel?
Yer that would be a bit of a ball ache, surely any exhaust specialist would be able to get hold of some packing if you wanted to do it yourself. A guy near me builds systems for gt and le mans cars as well as road car mods and he always has buckets of the stuff so cant see why he wouldnt flog some for a bit of cash in hand

Re: Build Quality - Delkevic vs Fuel?
Oh yeah I just went and found some elsewhere, but the original fuel stuff lasted well (woven mat) rather than the cheap crap (like fibreglass candyfloss...)
Beowulf sold me some decent stuff in the end no problem and they're just down the road from me.

Beowulf are good too, had one on my old bike and it had a lifetime warranty thing with it

Re: Build Quality - Delkevic vs Fuel?
After a while of indecision I ended up going for the Delkevic. No real strong reason why, just an unexplained preference for it.
Hopefully delivered tomorrow and will have a go fitting at the weekend. |

Good for you, there probably isn't much in it other than looks to be fair so as long as you are happy it's a win!

Re: Build Quality - Delkevic vs Fuel?
Yer, they should all make a lovely growl. Especially when the baffle 'accidentally' falls out.

Re: Build Quality - Delkevic vs Fuel?
Did you go for the 200mm carbon? Hopefully we'll get a ride out planned soon and I can check it out ...
