It could look quite well with a stubby...but might be very loud.
Straight-through can on mine. And yes bang it down a gear and the headphones-wearing pedestrian just about to step out against the lights in front of you will stop and look around. If that doesn't work the air horns will
One time I had the back wheel out which needs the can to come off. For the laugh I started it with no can, it was hardly any louder...!I'm partial to your abracadabra
I'm raptured by the joy of it all0 -

35mpg around town, 45-50 on a long run. The first generation ST/RS had less power but were easier on fuel, 60+mpg on long runs, and the tanks were a couple of litres larger as well. I usually get to the reserve light at 125-130 miles around town and it's 14-15 litres from full (on the sidestand) to the reserve light.
The sound waves exiting the pipe unimpeded should add a little thrust and save fuel
It's savage for closed-throttle backfires as well.I'm partial to your abracadabra

Got it all back together. A couple of weeks ago it was a completely stripped bike with a semi stripped engine. It all worked out in the end!!
The handling is sublime due to new swingarm and linkage bearings as well as new fork seals and oil and headstock bearings.

Got this in the post this morning, a Rocket Roadster dual gel seat, loads of grip and quite comfy (i'm led to believe), its sitting under my desk in work, can't wait to get home to fit it !!
Barely a month on and only 800 kilometers on the seat and its being replaced yet again !! Myself and the missus (her especially) were in some awful pain after using this new gel seat.
Ended up ordering a very nice looking touring seat from Triumph for the Rocket. Even though normally I'm completely opposed to them. Saw a lot of them on HD's in Killarney and have to admit I was a tad jealous !!

Had a bt029 at the front and was slipping and sliding all over the place specially at the roundabouts, the pr4 is unreal. Not a single slip all day long savage tyre, can't wait to get the rear fitted.
Told you Blu3, the difference is unreal even over the PR3! Bet you it wont last as long.....cant be this good with no downsides.
