Akra did one as well as prev. noted, I have it on mine & it is indeed a silver CF weave.
Looks OK to me.

And this is made worse by the lack of a balance pipe on my system. When I took mine for its MoT I was told in no uncertain terms that next time, if there was no change, it would be a fail.

I realise I can find a different test station, but I was wondering if Fuel sell the baffles separately. Would you know?

measure your bore size and the angle and try

Cheers for the link, but I don't think they'll work. The baffle part needs to be angled so it can fit inside the main silencer (term used loosely) tube, as the outlet is angled by a fair amount (as are most modern cans).

I've emailed Fuel and they do sell their baffles separately. It's now a question of whether the Fuel outlets are the same size and angle as the Akra ones. Sod's law dictates they won't be, of course.

Thanks furygan and control

i had a look at the r&g site and found hangers for the rsvr and your right furygan they are expensive but they do look good but then so does yours control. Shorter and further back sounds like what i want

. Both look good. I'll see how the funds are in the new year. Iv'e also seen ones that look like there made from stainless rod that look good. Decisions decisions

Alternatively design you own shape and ask if 'Willopotomus' will cut them to size and shape you want...time permitting, long story but he has the equipment to create these things...only prob i can see in bending them outwards to clear the swingarm?
