Title: standard can
Post by: elektrikAlien on 07 April 2015, 06:34:42 pm

I got shunted the other day by a reversing van going into the back of me whilst I was stationary.
The bike went down and the end can has been scratched and dented.
I have 3 options -
1/ Buy an OEM can from Yamaha - £££££ :(
2/ buy an aftermarket can.
3/ fiind a mint OEM can (Gen1) from someone who has fitted an aftermarket can .
The thing is, that I hate noisy cans, so the standard can seems a good option as its quiet,  but I wonder if there are any aftermarket cans  that would be as quiet as the standard can ?
Comments and advice please? - Anyone with a mint standard can they are willing to sell ?? :rolleyes
