Hi all.

I can't make my piggin' mind up between these two end cans.

It has to be one of these 'cause I've already paid.

They delivered the oval ones instead of the tri oval's.

Now i've seen the ovals in the skin, I just don't know.

What do you think?

If it was me, I'd go for the 'plain' ovals every time. I think the tri-ovals are plain fugly. But that is just my opinion...

Must admit I agree with Mango.
Mebbe they look better in the flesh.

I've got Beowulf Titanium ovals on mine, had them on a while but still love em. I just think they suit the bike better. Others on here have Tri-ovals and love them, so it really is down to your own personal taste, failing that, get the coin out!

Gotta agree on the tri-ovals being ugly

round i or oval is a classic look I think - the tri ovals look... well, not so nice
(ie would look ok on a rice burning 4 but...)

It's a thing of personal choice ...... but this person would choose the oval .... probably because this person has chosen an oval ..... but you choose whichever you prefer.

BTW good to hear from you again

Ovals for me I think. Viewed from the rear end, the ovals will probable suit the Falco better as they are less bulbous, but hard to say as Kiwi's bike is side-on. Hard thing to ask a guy for his rear-end shot.

As requested, more pics of my rear end, must be a french thing

Oh and I've still got the baffles in too.

I think that the Falco is a more 'traditionally' styled bike, and as such the simpler profile of the oval can suits it better. I think the tri-ovals are largely intended for the more angularly styled modern Japanese bikes, and probably suit their lines better.

Just my thoughts, y'unnerstand...

Thanks guys.

I'm keeping the ovals. I'll post a pic as soon as I've fitted them. (Can some one tell me how

)

Flying Kiwi - How was your Quill experience. I phoned them to say I was keeping the ovals & asked for a refund on the price difference of £74.40.
I was told no, as they are the same price. I asked them to look at their web site & they claimed the photo of the oval is wrong & should show a titanium sleeved can with stainless end caps. As mine are full titanium with titanium internals, they are the same price as the tri ovals.

Anyway, the ovals look good & are very light. Can't wait.

easy fit

wd40 the joing bolts etc now, before they arrive

some do use exhaust muck to get a seal but.. I don't :)

undo old cans making sure you have a weight lifters belt on to carry them away

clean new cans and polish - i do that as I am sad!

loosely fit hanging strap and offer up - if necessary use a piece of wood and a hammer to drift each can in to the mid pipe connections

tighten up :)

Cheers for that Aladinsan but, I meant if some one can tell me how to post pics

But I'll take the advice about the weight lifters belt though.
