Thanks for the feedback, seems overall the opinion is divided an nobody seems to be overly excited about these cans. Guess it would come down to personal preference on the sound, weight saving is always a bonus. At the risk of sounding ignorant I think raspiness comes at higher rpms (previous experience with car exhausts) and as I am not tuning for the race track it may not be an issue tuned in the midranges for the street, I just want to make it sound like a bike and not a sewing machine like the sound out of the factory pipes (without spending a fortune mind you on something like staintune or mistrals). Cheers

Hi to all, wondering if anyone out there has tried or heard of someone using supertrapps on a V11? do they work well?? do they sound good?? if so I also think the brushed stainless steel versions would look damn good too.

Thanks, that did cross my mind but broken piece was to small/short to be effective. There would be a number of other ways to do this like threading a small bolt in or welding a pin in place but I chose the roll pin as it is easily removed if you want it to be. Awesome looking bikes a.

Yes it is a roll pin about 1/8 dia, you tap them in to a slightly smaller hole so it fits nice and tight. Job was quite easy to do, once in place its actually blocked either side from coming out by other parts. I think this setup would be longer lasting than the end of the spring bent and hooked over a right angle bend. Heres a pic of my beast.

Hi, heres a pic of my fix to the pawl spring breakage problem. I actually ordered a replacement spring from my nearest dealer but still haven't seen it nearly 2 yrs later, so this was plan B after waiting about 4 weeks. The spring breaks with no warning as mine broke downshifting coming up to a stop sign, when i took off again it felt like 2nd and not first gear which i had changed down to while stationary then when I couldn't shift up or down,
