Welcome in Ben
That's a good intro for someone who's never used forums :clap:
The choose for cans is almost endless and it's as much to do with style and sound as it is to do with performance , at the end of the day most are just a bit of pipe :lol:
So let us get to know you , how long you been riding and what bikes have you had ?

Thanks jompy and r1clarky,I have a fair bit of motorcycle experience I have done alot of motocross and a bit of racing and enduro, not so much on road I was in a accident as a pillion when I was younger and now my leg is full of pins and a plate :shock: ,for that reason I didnt carry on with my licence. I'm a bit older now and decided to give it another go and take it easy lol. Think I would like a akrapovic seem like hens teeth though. I can't add any photographs is this because I am using my iPhone? Thanks angain.

Hi Ben and welcome nothing wrong with a huge standard exhaust as Clarky says there's loads of info about exhausts on here, if you use the 'search' box on Tapatalk, it finds all the different threads. I'm guessing the 'proper' forum site has a similar thing? Clarky? Jompy?

Enjoy the bike

No body spies on me I'm far too boring :lol:
Yes the forum does have a search but it's wank :lol:
Easiest thing to do is go on Google images and either type in 5pw end can or R1 end can and see which one you like and go from there ;)

Welcome aboard Ben.
Tappatwat only for pics and on the toilet check in's IMO . Search engine on the forum site will find you plenty of exhaust chat bud.

Quiet time to join atm but plenty going on usually so get stuck in.
