    Bike slipped off the paddock stand and the Wolf can it's wearing now
    has a four inch gash in it. Sheeet. That'll teach me to try and move
    the bike while it's up.

    So, anyone got anything worth looking at please? Thanks.

    What fitting is it? My Remus Ti one has just gone on ebay:

    It's not the proper fitting for a GSXR1000 and I had a modified link
    pipe for it. It's a three bolt jobby.

    Buggeration - I did that yesterday and bust the brake lever end off.

    Indeed. I couldn't resist when I got an old N reg for well under two
    grand. The TL has gone. Haven't got the insurance swapped over yet
    though, so it'll be a couple of days before I can get it on the road
    properly.

    I'm drooling, and SWMBO is keen on us spending the day out on it.

    Three bolts on the Ace too, but I have no ideas of the spacing. A
    road legal can would be more sensible, but I really liked the sound of
    the Wolf it had on it.

    Wonder if I can patch it up with fibreglass temporarily?

    150 EUR +16% VAT for an artisan-made to your specs can... in Barcelona,
    sorry.

    But with a cheapo flight you could get if for the dogs bollocks... And I
    could test it first on my 'ace (may be the X-ray at the airport would be a
    bitamazed :) Just kidding, but up to you...

    Seriously speaking, I was looking for something so that I could use the
    street legal original can, and then have a racetrack only oval can to have
    some extra ground clearance. The exhaust guy suggested something interesting
    (that required cutting the exhaust pipe before the two corners before the
    can) that may be put to work next summer.
