Anyone know of a place that does part exchange on rear can?

[Germ]

Hi,

People keep telling me I Must change the can on the '06 Bandit 650 K6 I bought on Saturday.
I was really intending keeping the standard can til I needed a new one to keep my costs down a bit.
After looking at cans on e-bay etc I'm wondering if anyone knows a good,reputable place that might do a part exchange for my bog standard can?

The current can is in perfect nick,no scratches,marks or signs of rust.It's done 6.8k miles but honestly you'd never know that.

Cheers for any help or advice

If you do buy a new can keep hold of the original! If you smash it down the road or want to sell the bike as standard its always good to have the original can laying around.

Just buy a cheap one... why MUST you change it I just smashed my standard one to pieces

Standard ones are worth nothing. If you really don't want it, ebay it, but I'd be stunned if it goes for more than £10.

Cheap is kinda relevant atm....cheapest I've seen so far is a Viper for £125.
Yeah it's cheap as chips but I'm off today to buy clothing and boots,still need tax and insurance for the bike so my savings are diminishing at a serious rate of knots.

I was ok with keeping the standard can but had about 6 people comment on it now and they all say I should ditch it.Maybe I should just tell people to keep their noses out

Standard cans are worth nothing, keep it for MOTs or for selling with the bike when you come to flog it - it is nice to have the original parts included when you buy a bike.

Aye Jimbo that looks like the Viper I was checking out on E-bay.If memory serves it comes without a baffle though...will I need to buy one or will the baffle out of my old can fit?

It says road legal so that should mean that riding without the baffle is legal too?

Keep an eye out for second hand cans, but c'mon, if the bike needs a can, then you've probably picked the wrong bike because it should be fun/good what ever it sounds like!

You could always make engine noises in your helmet .

The current can is spot on,not even marked or discoloured.It sounds fine and everything.

Just figured if 6 different people all said "get that ugly lump of shit off the bike" then there must be a reason why they all say it.

Just figured I'd see what my options are.If it's purely aesthetics then I can live with the standard can.

Just ignore G-string and get a fruity pipe.

Bandits always sound better with a race can plus loud cans save lives. it'll be a safety thing , y'see.

Went on a bandit rideout everyone had aftermarket cans except me, so I wanted one, then saw the prices

Can't really see or hear the can when riding.

So sticking with the truck exhaust. Keeps the neighbours happy

I never found the noise to be too 'in your face'

In fact it gave it a nice burble on tickover and rasp when going through the box.

I have a Viper can just like that one, well I had two the same and sold one on ebay but still have another here currently

The viper isn't loud enough to warrant a baffle, it's about right for the road in answer to your question.

Also baffles in them just make it sound like the bike is farting.

Viper cans are good, I got rid of mine because it made my Fazer run a bit lumpy at the bottom end. I'm after a link pipe to fit it to my CBR as it will probably be better on there.

Just keep the standard can for now. You can always but a cheap viper end can and link pipe separately. The link pipes are only about £35.

I have found a differance in the reactions of cagers with my CCC can since the baffle "fell out". Mainly that they actually do react and notice me approaching, far fewer pull out on me from side roads.

I thought I was imagining it so put the baffle back and hay presto, cagers pulling out on me


I may have a can for sale soon, just got to decide if the CCC (Carbon Can Company) exhaust is going or the stubbied Blue Flame, which on my V-twin is obnoxiously loud, it would be quieter on a bandit.

Finances have been stretched so I've decided to run the standard can into the ground before replacing it with something sportier.
