Test two then I have 20 more being made. Here are some pictures  please give feed back so I can make to you guys liking. This is the basic profile Disassembled - can put on many bikes with teh moutnignsystem (Not shown) but also canrotate the spout for proper direction.  Note: uses round head machine bolts - should be loctite in. Foot pegs for the rear sets Swing arm spools in 6mm 8mm and 10mm silver anodizing (red one wa a sample) Back to top

I also found a supplier and cnc company that can do it cheaper.  They should retail as a kit for about 85-95USD each. (depends how bad  can beat the new suplier on price.)  they will be high polished or silver anodized. These have multiple holes in the chamber side cap to fit the 3XV confguration and also other more popular brands of after market chambers Counter-sunk tapered machine scrwes will fill the unused holes Back to top

fredjee Group: Members Posts: 116 Joined: April 2006 Posted: Sep. 16 2006,09:25 Are the cans going to have a steel ( polished alloy / stainless ) band around each end ?? Many other cans do ? Just wondered if they fitted them for a reason ( ie .. carbon fracturing round screws / fixing holes ) .. Fred. Back to top

China_Racer_1 Group: Members Posts: 329 Joined: May 2006 Posted: Sep. 16 2006,15:30 Hmmm.......I looked at the comments and thanks This is great feed back. I think the band (If a seperate piece) looks a bit cheasy.  Even thought it servse its purpose. My intention is to make the band intragal with the end cap if possible. If not I will go with the band but only as a last resort. In other words the tube will fit into a grove in the cap and then be bolted in.  My tubes are quit consitant so I think this is a real possible fix to your concerns. Also they are 100% Carbon Fiber and a tad thicker than the norm for strength and durability. I plan to market these to racers so durability is my main thought second is weight.  Though as a racer its of course always in the back of my mind. Also I will add a round cap on the end of the spout as a lot of clubs require it on exhausts for safety reasons. Any more comments about this idea please make them good or bad, I listen.
