It's only about 8cm shorted than the other cans, i dont think it would be much of a difference.

However, for the extra £30, i would go with the oval beowolf cans. They end soon though....

compare them to the small fuel cans thats what I have and I can tell you I am not going out now to measure them LOL
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

I think the beowolfs come out too far. A bit like my Milles which I didn't like til I changed it for a leo vince.

Finnally got chance to fit these today, after a couple of hours pilishing out the major scratches.

Im pretty chuffed. They don't sound too bad at all\ (without a baffle, atleast). They sound a bit smoother than the SL cans, and dont have as much moise on the overrun, but they are 100000000000000X better than the original exhausts.

Anyway, i still have the SL chip in the bike - should i put the standard chip back in?

Run the bike for a few miles to see

If it works as you desire - I think it will btw - leave it be


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...

Just to add to the mix, I was watching a new pair of Venom cans, made by Motad, on fleabay last year and watched them go for £160. Not bad I thought so waited for another pair to come up, while waiting I did some invest and phoned Motad direct, long story short got a brand spanking new pair, complete with straps and link pipes, for £122 delivered!!!! This was the starting price on fleabay and the guy at Motad agreed to sell at that price, easy fit and sound good. I did have the SL's on my previous falco, the venoms are well made and have a good deep sound, the SL's were probably deeper in sound but at the price I paid I am well happy :smt003

PC 911, or c*nt as most local bikers like to call him, gives out 30 quid fines if he can

If challenged - where's your equipment and training certificate for example - he generally gets shirty and let's you off with a warning....

Sent a message to Motad last night and got a reply today to say they don't do any exhausts for the Falco now. :smt009

Ah - they were selling them off on ebay a while ago so that makes sense.

Fuel .... :smt002

I'm looking for black or carbon look ones and the Fuel ones are a tad expensive for my budget I'm afraid

Ah ....... that's the problem for those without a 2into1 exhaust - they have to buy twice as many cans.
