Your thoughts on raised cans??
Hi All
Just raised my cans but to be honest i'm not sure if i like them raised (providing i've done them properly of course) and would like your views!
Another downside to them is the brackets slightly cover the name of the cans!
Take a look and let me know as i'm really in two minds!!

Re: Your thoughts on raised cans??
Looks good to me nice looking bike you got there maybe a pic fully side on would give us a better idea
Re: Your thoughts on raised cans??
Shame the can straps are covering the badges.
Did you have some link pipes made to get them at that angle?

Re: Your thoughts on raised cans??
Didn't have any pipes made, i just re angled the pipes that came off the inlet
I was kind of hoping for the look were they run along parallel with side panels, woould of been even better if i could of had them run under the seat but that definately would of meant having some pipes made.......maybe an idea for the future!!
I take it i don't need to do any re-balancing/jetting for re-positioning them??

Looks good to me ,if you were really bothered about the straps covering the badges ,maybe you could get new brackets ,either buy, or make your own .

I'd just check the fit at the joints.
Theres every chance you may start hearing more popping and banging on the overrun when out and about but then again-the angle you have them at is'nt ott is it.
They look good to me.

Re: Your thoughts on raised cans??
like the angle you've got with them mate, very sp1ish, could you not run a small bracket off the rear footpegs??

Re: Your thoughts on raised cans??
Thats not a bad idea actually mate....never thought of that but like i say i think the angle would be too much for the standard link pipes, i'm sure i would need different angle pipes?marravtr wrote: like the angle you've got with them mate, very sp1ish, could you not run a small bracket off the rear footpegs??

I didn't have to force the pipes in any way, just twisted them slightly to change the angle and voilaaaa!
Re: Your thoughts on raised cans??
Looks great to me, perhaps take the badges off? or re-badge them?
I like that angle.

Iv got devil cans and they are high, higher than yours i think and they look fantastic....i think all bikes with a high cam look great.....but thats my thoughts.....;)
Re: Your thoughts on raised cans??
I can see actually and they do look great, you have the pipe adapters for that mod....where did you get those from or did you have them made......thats the look i was looking for to be honest!
