Yes the Fuel cans are very good a mate of mine got one for his bike ages ago now, i think when they first started to make them as they only sold them through ebay at the time, i believe there in Lancashire.

Can,t wait to hear my exhausts again to see if theres any difference my blueflames use a 50 mm link pipe but now there piped up to a 45mm and flanged hopefully creating a bit more power and noise (not that i need the noise) with some fancy routing under the subframe.

hope your test goes Dookie

Test went well the mirrors are a much better and now i get a full veiw behind, in the end went for a mismatch of the two mirrors .
I put the mirrors and stems of the R1 mirrors on the vtr brackets and a bit of the R1 gator inside the vtr gator to get a nice tight fit.
They look ok , will try to put some piccys if i can get my phone to work.

That sounds like a good set up Dookie utilising the two mirrors. I tried R1 mirrors myself along time ago, but I couldn't get on with them being closer to me :!:
