Lots of exciting talk about cans at the moment chaps. These are my latest babies. At the moment they are in pieces in the garage being cored.
Might put a domed? end on or ???. The cans were £130 and I reckon it'll cost about £30 for the perforated tubes and packing. Time wise, around 2 hours + loads of swearing and bleeding.:yes
What have you got ???????????

I bought a pair of the Aprilia Racing Titanium cans for my new T (which I haven't got yet)

they look pretty much like the stock pipes you've got there Nobi, but they weigh about half as much and have "Titanium" in big letters on them.

Oh, and they are ferkin loud.

(I'll sort some piccies later)

Swap em about a bit mate. I get bored. Still got me old Carbon Quills for grabs. They are on an earlier pic of my bike. £180 + post at about £20 quid = bargain.

Was gonna sell the high mount but fook it I'll keep em and put them on when I'm feeling naughty.

You really are a pipe whore aren'tcha nobster. Just wishing that I could afford some pipes. Maybe Santa will be good to me. Of course I just had to fall in love with those Akkie hex caps... Damn my good taste.

Likewise I loved the hex Akras, but £950 is just taking the piss?

Hi karumba. Got the cans sorted and faaarrrrrrrrkkkkkiiiiiiiinnnnnnnn hell their nice.
If any one fancies doing their own cans don't be scared its not too hard. Theirs an excellent thread on Af1 on the way to go about it.
Like V60 says ££££££££££££ how much for a name. The Ape Racing ones look great on my bike and once you've got the crap out of them they are actually quite light , if thats what your after.
Cans £130 + bits £50 = bargain. If you already have decent stock cans its even sweeter :thumbup

Love those pipes nobbie!!! I know why you went with them as they are so damn purty... Until I saw the Akkies, those were my pipes of choice. Still are, due to the significant difference in price between the two. I love the brushed slate and was way pissed when they changed it. Label whore that I am I also like the fact that they say "Aprilia" on them.

Need to start trolling fleaBay and AF-1 for a set. They match the paint (rashed as it is) a lot better...
