Was thinking - Carbon cans ;o) but now not so sure

gazandjen · Mar 18, 2012

I have been reading up on twins and carbon cans. Many twins appear to blow their cans

It seems to have put me off slightly. I have a matt black 02 RSV and thought the carbons would fit in nicely with the bike. I am fitting some falcon exhausts as I prefer the look of the twin exhausts.

Any suggestions on some cans??

you could always slide carbon sleeves over a stainless, ali or ti sleeves - that'll prevent the pulse from blowing them :thumbup

My Mivv GP Carbon is 4 years old and done 6500 miles.

It performs and looks as good as new.

i ran an akra carbon can , packed it really tight etc but i think a blast to lemans at between 100-140 killed it :devil

started blowing the packing out a month or so later and the carbon cooked and went all soft
