Looks like you need to rethink how they are mounted !

looks like the linkpipes could be a bit shorter, you've got the wheel barrow look going on, all said and done, I still love the high level look.... :thumbup:

I think the cans need shortening a bit which would look better and will also allow you to move the clamp along the can a bit so being more secure. Other than that they will sound good. What bike are they made for.

They look better than the stock pooh. Little bit of a tweak and you will placate the forums style police!!

You can't beat honesty, thanks guys. We ran out of time but the cans came off the bike in this picture. I don't know why I can't get them to fit the same. As you should all know my ability is pushed when applying rim tape. Why would they not fit the same? Would I be right in thinking to shorten the link pipe I would have to trim the end by the can? Thanks.

Or leg burner when wearing shorts :lol:

Looks to me like the indicators are in the way. If they where not there then you could push the can up higher and follow the line of the fairing which looses that couple of inches sticking out. It's the angle of the link pipes that is wrong which makes the whole thing look longer On the Castrol they look OK and I take back what I said about shortening the cans. For some reason they look longer in your first pic. It's a upgrade opportunity for some mini indicators I think.

A little judicious hacksawing is all that's needed. 2-3" off the cans...

As for indicators - I've melted several! :grin:

Ouch you really did burn yourself then, it wasn't just a light tap.

She's had the bike 6 weeks and that's the 4th burn. Hopefully the NE link pipes look like it won't happen as much [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND SMILING EYES][SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND SMILING EYES][SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND SMILING EYES]

Don't the link pipes need shortening at the end that clamps to the cans and not the cans themselves :?
