Nearly bought a Stainless steel can from these people today at Beaulieu.

They say they are good, they are very cheap, it's £155 for a can for my Bandit and I get 15% off if I decide to join the SV and Bandit's owners club. They also have removable baffles and are E marked.

What is the quality like? Should I get one?

Jon. Smile

They are just as good as many other makes, good job it's got removable baffles with this new MOT law in. But i suppose you wont have to worry anyway as you don't need an MOT for 2 and a bit years!
They sound quite nice with the baffles out, i don't think they're as loud as cans like Art but they still are pleasing to the ear.

As to whether you get one, it's you own decision, Wink, if you want it, get one!

O/T but i started a K3 gsxr1000 up at work today, just after i took the can and link piece off, Shocked it was loud. Needless to say i got a few funny looks off people in the workshop.

I had one on my ZXR and it was great. It was louder than Ric's art can on his zxr.

Looks like I will be getting one.

£155 / 100 = £1.55

£1.55 x 15 = £23.25

£155 - £23.25 = £131.75

I think
