Lol - for once there are none on ebay.....

Try Stuff wanted, someone will have one in their garage.

I should have one in a day or two (just got a Free-Flow Systems can from Ebay - Black powder-coated Stainless steel stubby oval for £120 (looks great too), but I am not sure whether to keep it - could be useful in the event of right-side down off.....

I have a scorpion high level exhaust. Originally it was too long so the prior owner chopped it down to fit. Also he did the baffle. it is still removable so I imagine anything is possible. It also past its m.o.t with this...so whats the problem.

But a good idea none the less

And then you find someone with a rivet gun...and hey presto your can has a BS mark and the police dont mind it, and the MOT boys say - wow nice can! Bike has been MOT'd 3 times since having it done....

A few of the SV Rider guys have shortened the OE can, or hammered out the final baffle to make it louder, seems a lot of work though.

I cut down one of my WRPs, didn't do a brilliant job to be honest as I used a small grinder and titanium's interesting stuff to cut... But it's alright. Don't go too short though, there's definately a minimum size before it looks a bit silly.
