Re: GSX-S 750
I don't like the cans held together with a strip round each end of the can and rivets, so I may be stuck with the Ixil I have, which is supposedly road legal, but is LOUD, even with the baffles in

Re: GSX-S 750
I kinda get you on that one.
But the only can's I've had without bands are plain alloy ones, I think carbon cans need the bands to hold the CF together.
My old R6 I bought a oval alloy Remus Grandprix, that was a thing of beauty.

Re: GSX-S 750
Just had a look at Cobra and Remus, both are bandy, might as well stick with what I've got, which is a little disappointing

The thing is, nearly all carbon fibre you see on bikes is shit carbon fibre. Even the expensive stuff.

That looks like it was made by Micron, their carbon cans were like that.
And the majority of carbon cans are crap.

Re: GSX-S 750
I like the Leo Vince I have on the Duke but that has bands on it.
Lextek seems a reasonably popular budget brand not that I've had a good look at em

IMO they're slightly less cheap and nasty than the Black Widow, but only fractionally.Supermofo wrote: ↑Thu Nov 04, 2021 10:03 am I like the Leo Vince I have on the Duke but that has bands on it.

In simple terms, quality costs... if you want a lovely and nice material exhaust, it'll cost more..
That said, unless you look after it, all exhausts will be fucked after winter use.

Re: GSX-S 750
I'll be up your neck of the woods-ish this weekend, but not on the bike. It's looking bloody wet today and bloody cold the rest of it. Great Yarmouth is horrible enough at the best of times, I reckon it'll be even more grim in winter Still I'll be with 6 mates and drunk by 5pm today so all good

Re: GSX-S 750
Please don't accuse me of having anything to do with Gt Yarmouth, it's like Skegness with less charm, it'll be bloody cold, and stay away from 50 year old blondes with big titsSupermofo wrote: ↑Thu Nov 04, 2021 10:47 amI'll be up your neck of the woods-ish this weekend, but not on the bike.

Good luck, take an electric heater of some sort, you'll need it in a caravan in November, aforementioned 50 year old with big tits used to work at a caravan park in Yarmouth

Re: GSX-S 750
Or I'm personalizing it.
Had a look at the weather for the weekend and it looks good for the East Coast in November, merely bracing rather than sub Artic

Re: GSX-S 750
That can be the way in some cases I suppose,but it took me 14 years to trade the ZX10R,which had a few extras over the years.Potter wrote: ↑Thu Nov 04, 2021 1:49 pmIs it a keeper?
I think it looks just right as it is, if it was a hideous dustbin size can then I'd agree but after many years of watching people do this sort of stuff, as soon as they start thumbing through the M&P catalogue to throw stuff at a perfectly decent looking bike then it's just a matter of time before they decide it's not right for them.

Re: GSX-S 750
I think the exhaust looks too MV Agusta, but I can't see it when I'm riding so it doesn't really matter, and the mudguard thing at the back doesn't bother me for the same reason.
Is it a keeper, probably not, will I still have it this time next year, probably.
Will it be the last 750 4 cylinder bike ever made, possibly, I don't think we'll see it's like again.
