Hey guys

I just bought this Devil can off eBay, obviously it won't arrive for a little while... but I want to order an R&G Crash protector for it, I need to know if it's 4.5, 5, or 5.5 inches in diamater... Any guesses?

Why bother? The can protector is fucking ugly and if you're landing the bike hard enough you need a can protector it is going to be the least of your worries.

Your pipe is still going to take an impact, 'protector' or not

They're also 50% of the cost of the can?!

Wink


£35 + VAT + Shipping = £48ish

I'd laugh if it came through teh post lowside scuffed anyway

(Well I wouldn't that'd be shite, but you know what I mean)

Just don't see the point of buying a spiffy can and then covering it in that shite Sick
