I've just spilt tea all down myself on opening the pic of your current can. That is absolutely bloody horrific. Good call on the replacement that's going to look and sound the part.

It was a temporary repair, (9 months ago) it's sounds nice but very loud and it passed the mot , but it's no good for fuel consumption

fuel consumption! Who thinks about that on a motorbike?!!

When you get 130-140 miles a tank , I do lol, used to get 175-190 a tank

did you wash ya old exhaust on too hot a setting hahaha

My sentiments exactly.

Orginal looks like a gesture.

Snowcat, yours was a bit small as well, wasn't it? A little blue one?

Small but perfectly formed John

In fairness the previous owner had the bike professionally set up when he fitted the end can plus one of the first jobs I did was balance the carbs, whilst I agree with others sentiments regarding fuel consumption I still managed 200 miles + to a tank on a conservative day...... Plus it sounded F&cking awesome

And I don't think mine was that stubby, there'll be some pics up somewhere to compare.

Brian Blessed sounds f*ing awesome but it doesn't make up for his looks! Likewise with this abomination.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You saying the old can is an abomination or the new one?

I've had hearing issues my entire life and tend to be susceptible to certain frequencies, for me most of those small cans look way better than they sound.

This may be extremely old fashioned thinking, but I remember the importance of the right amount of back pressure was required in order not to burn the exhaust valves. Very low fuel consumption tends to tell me the setup could lead to problems. I know it was vital in two strokes, but a certain amount was also require for 4-strokes too.

Brain Blessed .. um another job for me to Google

That's a nice looking can Post up some pics of it on the bike when you can (pun intended!)

As for your short can WTF! Is the engine running a bit rich? Are you sure it's not an oil filter! Definitely time for a change.

Unfortunately some of us have to think about it a bit more often than others
However it's a rod I'm happy to bear Most of the time....

Have same can on mine, looks and sound awesome

new one or old one ?? Hope you mean the new one.
well I must say I learnt my lesson , don't try and stubby a full size stainless steel oval can, because once you take the end cap out , the tube goes round and you can't get the bugger back in

Is mine the last Thundercat in the world runing a standard can and the original downpipes???

I don't really like stubbies, new can looks nice!

You don't have to get a stubby Tony they do come in varying sizes. To a lot of people the standard cans are generally ugly affairs compared to after market ones. Added bonus is a better sound while riding.

It does. Had to take the baffle out tho. As soon as I pulled up at a junction I thought it had died due to it being so quite compared to the old one , sounds awesome tho ,

Also I am on standard downpipes but they are slowly turning into cheese with soooo many holes in them. It sounds god damn awful. Thankfully getting a replacement soon.


The Delki looks good, kind of like my scorpion.

Im thinking of buying one these to replace my scorpion, cant go wrong for the price.

Looks so much dapper now, very nice
