Only ones I've ever seen were on Kitch's (a member on here) bike.

I think there used to be a youtube vid of em, but I can't find it...

They looked nice from what I saw-but be careful. If they're old/used cans I'm sure they'll need a repack/refurb by now.

Cheers i have actually seen the you tube video , i only ask as i've seen a set for sale , going for half decent money, however i Already own a pair but one of the baffles has corroded slightly and needs repairing i was going to do it but haven't got round to it yet.

As said they are carbon but the lacquer looked tired, so i re lacquered them and they came up nice.

Just wondering if i should repair and sell them at some stage.

Thanks jbrebel. !

If they're cheap you might want to keep them as spares- you never know....

They were on the bike when i bought it , but i decided to put the original exhausts back on as i wanted the bike back to original ,i doubt i'll put the migs back on i'll see what happens.

I was just keen on finding out if they were good reputation wise etc ,have to say the pipework is like a work of art with the bends / welding wise.

Hello, Mig cans have a very good reputation, I've used a few of their systems twins and fours, and all are manufactured with quality materials. Spares could be a bit of an issue from the uk, but if you need translating from the mig.fr site, let me know. If you run it through the translating programs you could get pipe monkey sausage spring! MandP used to do them for a while, I bought a system for a 98 r1 years ago, and it arrived in shite condition, box ripped and dented, system ok, and about 4 times the number of springs, 2 connectors and some random other stainless bits - bizzare.

They do have a carbon in their range, but I can't find the website, I've had a look but days pass quickly when you search for stuff online in french! I do know that most things will be cheaper through a uk source, as we pay a little more tax over here (boo) but have more sunshine (hooray!), although it's now cloudy (back to boo). Leovince cans are nice quality in carbon, and micron too, especially now as they've gone.

I've been visiting neighbours this afternoon and drinking eau de vie (really strong spirits) come home and found your monkey sausage link, now I'm really confused if this is reality or not. Do you have a link to jumper chocolate fishcake too?

She's very broad minded, oh it's not that kind of website. I like the cats. I was listening to that cd earlier this morning - limp bizkit. There's many jokes awaiting there methinks :biggrin
