stubbys are for stunt bikes or real poser apeal lol, more than lose power on the top end, but hell i might be wrong, i like em on fighters and stunt bikes but on a road race type bike i like the orginal look of a nice standard race can. everyone to their own, bet it would look cool on the ninja, but for same price you could get a carbon one off an auction, why not wait to see if one crops up?

stubbys are cool. say bye to a bit of top end tho, but that doesnt matter here in london.

the more an engine can get the gases out at lower revs the better low end power is. if you stubby a can you need to set your carbs up to it to get the best results Thumbs Up
