Well, after starting the SL cans thread, I didnt actually manage to get them :smt012 BUT i am now the proud(read LOUD) owner of a fine pair of FUEL oval carbon look cans, well happy :smt003 Look the part and sound very nice with the baffles in, but.....OUTSTANDING with the feckers out. [/img]

Nice, enjoy them. I like the sound of my sl cans. Just loud enough for me.

I have a Fuel can (singular) - in carbon-effect stainless.
I'm very happy with it.
I have had the baffle out .... and it's loud. I've put it back in now and it's just very pleasant - people still know you're coming but the local hospital audiology department has stopped sending me the bills to stem the flow of blood from people's ears.

I have two genuine carbon fuel cans. They only came out in March and were fitted when I git the bike 4 or 5 weeks ago.

First thing I did was remove the baffles............. :smt003

The fuel cans with the baffles removed are very nice, i have a steel pair.

I still maintain that the SL carbon cans are the best though.

I had FUEL cans on my Fazer FZS600 a couple of years ago... very nice they are indeed. Did you get a free piece of Kendal mint cake?

As these are a pre-owned pair no mint cake was available! As i am not too far from Kendal I could always take a run over to sample the goods. :smt003 The cans are very well made, i have had Leo Vinces before, and have a very satisfying burble on throttle closing. :smt004
