Hi Mick 
Luke's cutdown Arrow looked pretty good on the bike and sounded right rorty. Considering he was on a 'make & mend' budget at the time, I thought it worked out really well. And polishing titanium to a mirror finish ain't no cakewalk.
As for mine, I think the traditional oval-shaped can works best on the Gen 1. I've had the Blueflame Tri-Oval and a round, stubby Mivv GP and neither went as well with the lines of the bike, IMHO. Perhaps you'll see it differently when the Akra is back on the bike. It's gone from being 470mm to 430mm and it could well be an improvement being that little bit shorter.
At least my wallet hasn't be shortened by my mistake. :lol
Cheers!
Mike
