i'm in no hurry to be honest,which aftermarket endcan will be a good choice to replace that standard one which is BUTT UGLY & looks as if it's capsable of launching a missile from.
Beowulf - and their radiator covers
Yep Beowulf pipes and rad guards are good and sound nice too
I have Two Brothers end can on mine..its a very loud can without the extra baffle, which is fitted to mine :shocked:
welcome to the forum :smiley: as far as after market cans are concearned, there's plenty to choose from. depending on how much you want to spend? I've fitted the remus carbon hexacone to mine :smiley: here's a pic to give you a idea what it looks like on the bike. p.s looks even better when the panniers and top box are on :wink:

I too have a Two Brothers exhaust though brought mine with the bike, how do I know if it has the extra baffle? I don,t think mine has as its loud :wink:
The extra baffle (Powertip) is a metal piece inside the exit hole.
Looks like this. The baffle is the metal ring inside. It's fitted by removing the end cover.

Here you can see the Powertip removed. (-3 to -4dB)

Or if you want it even quieter, fit the P1X Powertip (-7 to -8dB)

Another vote for the 2Bros from me. I don't use the baffle, and I reckon the can is a simply perfect blend of two personalities.
Keep the revs below 5k and throttle openings fairly small (the usual cruising, pottering, commuting in no hurry type of riding) and it sounds lovely. Bit more burble, a little more exciting on the over-run, but nowhere near what you would call loud.
However, up above 5k and particularly with lots of throttle, it sounds like a barely silenced F1 car. A truly wonderful, almost ferrari-esque howl that has me grinning like a small child.
Martin.
