I'm no good if you don't want loud, I can assure that SLCarbons are seriously loud.

Move and get what you want

Fuel
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

+1 for Fuel. Excellent build quality, not too loud with baffles fitted, MOST excellent with baffles out!! :smt003

Another one for Fuel, took the baffles out as soon as I got it home and they've not been back in since :smt003

I was thinking of getting a pair of GPR cans they do a high level set of oval aluminum for around £400

also consider blue flame

They are my second favourite cans that I have used

I also rate Fuel cans btw


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Are you running the standard map?

If you are I would consider getting a eprom to suit your setup and also a tb & co balance. You should find it runs much better.

+1, but with baffles still in. I'm more than happy with the sound over the strangled stock cans, and they don't seem to upset the neighbours at 6:45 when I pull off the drive

Blueflame have had a bad name at times, with people slating build quality, but mine have been spot on, through about 6 years of being on the bike

These look quite good in my opinion, not much dearer than your budget. No idea about quality etc though. I wish these were available a few years ago otherwise I would of bought a pair.

I don't know if akro's are still available for the falco. Pretty expensive though.

Nice looking cans !
I think the lifetime warranty is a confident statement regarding the quality !
Bit pricey but with a warranty like that, gotta be good, and cheaper than Akro's... £1,750 for Monster cans, Stealer price
