I had some brackets made to give cans the upswept look.

They will not work on standard cans because you have to move the mounting straps.

The ones I have use the std footrest hangers

The standard cans can be rotated up but you would have to make a different bracket to do it.

good idea that, but there was someone on here using standard cans

But why would you want to use standard cans? They're about four times the weight they need to be, and not, in my opinion, visually attractive.

If it's to avoid upsetting the neighbours, there are legal, quieter aftermarket options.

Also, if you're getting vibration through the footrests, changing the cans to aftermarket ones fixes it.

valid point. bit short of cash so using what i have. although if anyone has some used stumpies i'd be interested. my proposed tail end is so short, long standard pipes look a bit daft, so its either tilt them up or short cans

If you are using after market link pipes i have a set of delkevic stubbies here, iv only used them about 300 miles so as new with straps, they are loud mind you

are they illegal loud? and are they high or low level? are they marked Not for road use?

they have a few numbers stamped on them but it doesnt say not for road use, but they are proper loud . its just the cans and straps i have not the link pipes so will bolt on to after market links regardless if they are high mount of low level
