So nothing particularly ground breaking yet but many ideas in the pot. Bike was totally standard when bought in October 2012.


Cans:

Can hangers:

Belly:

Levers:

Screen, mirrors, indis:

Polished rims:

when was the last time the carbon cans were repacked ?
if you dont know test them after a good ride ,
if the carbon gets hot they need doing .

I repacked the cans last week..still fairly loud!!

its the heat that makes them explode

when the packing gets blown to the end it leaves the exposed carbon open to the exhaust hot gasses and then damages the can as you can see from mine above

Used this stuff, seems pretty good:URL: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.vi ... 0764174459

nice and tight

Yes, specify length width and depth then it turns up looking like a tea towel!

This result is even more likely if you run a 2 into 1 system

I had wondered about getting some of those mirrors for mine, I fitted them to my SV when I had that, but how easy is it to see the indicators with the position of the mirrors? If that makes sense.

Ck there is no adverse affects of fitting the mirror extenders that I've found .
They are worth the money .

The Arrow cans work well with the red paintwork IMHO and the bellypan

looks good and like the cans only thing i don't like is the mirrors they look a bit cheap as they don't match looks like that very cheap brittle shiny plastic, if you painted them they might look better
