Cool; Always wanted a pair o Blueflames n I guess the general consensus is thats what they are, (who am I to argue)!

Next question; Is there a specific chip that suits them in particular, or should I just go for the most expensive, (and hopefully best), chip I can find?

So, which chip, how much n where from?...

HAVE A VERY CLOSE LOOK AT THE END OF THE CANS - I reckon you will find a circular groove to hold a baffle in - the blue flames use circlips - and afaik they are the only type of can that do

as for chip - if you are that keen, just get a power commander, and an air kit, then do the dyno run thing :)

I'll have to perform a closer inspection of the exit ports tomorrow to see if I can spot the groove, (man).
Cant afford a PC3, so Im after a chip that someone on ere can recommend from first hand experience. The last chip was a zero-brand affair, and as Im skint, the new chip aint much better, (though there is a little more mid-range than the last-un, which I like

)!
Problem is; I dont wanna have to keep buying new chips because of buying tat-quality cheap uns!
Im, (apparently), running the BFs plus a K&N and the 'Triton' race chip from Italy, (appropriately

), if that helps.
I'd like to do the airbox mod too; Prolly do a DIY number, with help from my Dad, when I get chance to get another airbox to modify/butcher.

So.
Whats the 'best' chip for the BFs in peeps opinions, and is it possible to buy the road-legal baffles? Im thinking at MOT time it would save me swapping to standard cans which are criminally quiet!

I'd also like to do a dyno run once Ive got everything together.

my bike is running on the af1 chip atm - and is pretty good - nice up to 7000 rpm then it becomes an absolute bloody hooligan.. seriously swift - you are not supposed to wheelie at 70 are you??

and, and being honest, you can chop and change chips, but only a pc3 and dyno run will really fettle it as you want imho

i got mine from usa ebay - and asked them to mark it as a personal gift etc - no nasty tax and i paid 150 for it in real terms....

they are definatly blueflames, if you look at the photo with the no plate the right hand can as got the baffle in and you can see the circlip.sorted.

I bow to all your superior intelligence, especially Aladinsaneuk; Finally checked and they do have the groove for the baffles you mentioned matey!

Spotted it whilst doing a bit of a service on her, (coolant dump n fill, cleaned brakes-up, new clutch n brake fluid, changed engine oil, (again!), Xenon headlight bulbs in, new chain n sprockets fit, (16/41 fer a change from the 15 front), and tried but gave up trying to fit the Loobman I just bought!
Two hours of struggling, wheel in, wheel out, checking the position of the delivery head but I couldnt get it so I was satisfied enough that it deffo wouldn't get chewed-up by the sprocket should it move at all, (the 'head', not the sprocket!).

I reckon theyre more suited to the OE, squarer swingers, (mines off an early Mille), so if anyone wants a loobman send a PM!

Cost £17ish last week, plus the fact its already semi-assembled, so say £25?...

Awright; £12 posted...

Anyone?....
