I've been very happy with my Fuel can (.... and when I say fuel can I don't mean one of these: Image)

What's more they are nice people to deal with and they sent me a slab of mint cake when they posted it to me

I think it's more to do with them being based in Kendal

My one is the "carbon effect" oval can :smt004 It's actually stainless (unlike Pete's underpants - according to Hanna, they are sponsored by Skidmarx)

Is the love of mint cake the reason for the sylph like figure?


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...

My 2p worth...

Kendal mint cake - horrible stuff, like eating a solid block of toothpate mixed with sugar. Used to put it in ration packs, always one person in the section that liked it and ended up with everyone elses.

Fuel exhausts - I have a pair of their titanium ones and am very impressed. Sound great, make the bike louder than my mate's RSV4 with Austin can at tickover (much to his disgust) but much more sociable with the baffles fitted. Well made and so far MOT friendly.

What length did you go for? I'm over the stubby thing (fecked the fuelling on my bandit) but not sure wether to go for the midi or max length.
