missed out the Art cans okamoto was selling on ebay.
Was unsure at first, but due to the low price decided I'd help him out
Now I've lost out I'm a little gutted
I was winning till the last 2 seconds. Bit silly of me really, cos I want some non standard cans and even at his initial price of 150 quid they would have been the cheapest option. Oh well, better luck next time.
Don't suppose anyone else is selling any? Probably end up going withe the very reasonalbly price FUEL cans. (I know 200 quid on ebay at the moment, but I'm not keen on shiny SS stuff)

give fuel a call - I bought the titanium ones, oval with blueing for under 300 quid new..... that was in january this year and was part of their sale - I suspect that if you rang them upand asked they may well do the same price :)

Apart from the sound, are there any other improvements when you adding just the FUEL cans (no chips or air kits).
Stuck cans on a single before (admittedly with a reject) and great improvement in low down torque, bhp and throttle response

Nice!
They sound wonderful on a Falco. Very nice price you got 'em for too.
I seem to recall you'll need errm.... 15mm, I think it was.. spacers to fit them with the rear footrests on though. Didnt see them in the pictures.

Yep - I'd clocked these .... you'd have been bidding against me if I'd not decided to go for the single pipe mod.
They'll be nice Paddy .... so is the Falco-can-hack mod now officially dead?

You'll just love the sound of those Paddy. I've had mine on for over 3 years and they still make me grin when I fire the bike up! You definitely need spacers for the rear footpegs though. Renegade also sell DB killers for them which are BS stamped if you have any MoT (or plod) trouble.
The ride is the reason ........ the destination is just the excuse.

Cheers, spotted those. Gotta try and keep my costs down on the silencers really, as the first priority has to be the shock. Ideally looking at no more than 150 quid, which is why I'm kicking myself over the set Okamoto had on ebay.
On the plus side, bike passed it's mot on Friday, but on the minus side it needs a new set of tyres, so another few hundred quid there aswell.
