    WTB: Aftermarket Can

    As per title, im after a can to make my RF900 sound nasty


    Deep & gravelly like you would imagine an 80yr chain smoking Barry White to sound....






    I think u get the picture
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    Go for a two brothers. They sound great

    Any three-bolt can that was originally designed for a GSXR1100 will flow enough air
    to make it worth your while. But it's not just a matter of bolting a new can on and riding.

    Do remember that by putting a different can on the bike you will change your airflow characteristics. Usually they give more airflow. More air = change to air/fuel ratio ie they will run lean, which is bad for a motor as it can cause pre-ignition. This turns motors into hand grenades. The answer is to change the jets for bigger ones. The plus side is the bike will run faster, and maybe smoother too. Also, you may find that you will sacrifice midrange power for top end.

    A fun, but expensive route to go down. Have fun.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Mmmmm, don't want to swap mid for top, obviously spend more time in mid (top is farkn nuts man lol). Im just after a spunky sounding bike preferably with more low/mid range. Looking like im going to need some expert advice on this one.
