Standard can
Is it just me or the standard can already loud enough? Must be my old age. I have a Scorpion can just sitting around collecting dust....no idea how loud it is.

Re: Standard can
when i first got my zxr it seemed SO loud (had just finished with my 125) but after putting an aftermarket can on its a new level of noise!

Re: Standard can
well the previous owner swapped it for MOT time so it must be bolt on.lewisdale wrote:if its a slip on it wont fit, standard are bolt on

NC...
Not strictly legal, but a friendly MOT centre will pass your bike with the Scorpion on, if you show them you have the original.
I have a Scorpion stainless can which isn't road legal but the test centre passed it and that was only me telling them I have the original, they didn't see it!!
Even if they do insist you swap the cans, it's only 3 screws on the can and the bolt for the hanger... 5 min job to switch!
