WHAT, CAN'T HEAR YOU :biggrin
Yeah it's pretty loud, problem with these is the perforated core tube is welded onto the pipe end cap & pushes into the outlet end cap, so you have to cut it off the back end, plus I would have had to make them longer to keep the badge.

PERFECT!
I've always thought that the stock length was too long, that looks just right. Good work Sir!
I cut down my Ackra's for the same reason (errrr...and also to eliminate a small dent on one of the cans :biggrin)

The finer things in life don't need badges or labels....those who can appreciate such stuff know instinctively what it is...:thumbup

Cool man. I like very much. Reckon a good wheelie would have hit them on the floor as standard. Daft length.
Howcome the new highrise bars arent being shown off in that pic?? are you ashamed? lol :devious
Also, is it jus me or do the cans look super polished finish in the first pic, and a sorta brushed finish in the last??
I reckon that badge might fit infont of the bracket on the lower can

Cans look dull cos the whole bikes filthy where I've been doing all the winter mods & the conversion

I find that quote rather condescending its all down to personal taste............I do not think the quality of the job is any less just cos he didn't put the badge on!!:confused

I think you misunderstand what I'm getting at, I meant no offence or condesention either.
What I'm trying to imply (and obviously failing) is that badges and labels are unecessary...for instance, have you ever looked a hand built Spondon ot Harris frame? There's no labeling, or anything indeed that indicates who the manufacturers are..however, if you know what to look for, they are easily identifiable.
BTW they're arrar's innit? :biggrin

Check out nick swaggering around with his *** and baggy jeans
Sounds awesome. May have to consider chopping down my akras. Dare I mod the original akras on an original haga though...? :/
