New cans! (doubt anyone has 56k now)

Scort · 2 Oct 2009 at 19:13

Getting a little windy over running 'technically not legal' cans, and the prospect of Mr or Mrs Insurance voiding me for said fact, I purchased these:

Only fired them up for a bit, they sounded just as loud as my re-baffled cans, so I'll be picking up a couple of removable 'sounds arrestors' for these

Just leaving all the gasket stuff to harden now, will hopefully get to christen them at the weekend!

Looks good dude

R1?

They look good. Not as in your face as some silencers, look like they're meant to be there.

Scort · 2 Oct 2009 at 19:23

Thanks Fireskull

How's the healing going by the way?

Tis an R1 agw, my second bike and an absolute beast

Are the ends plastic or ceramic?

Healings not bad, feels like its come to a stall at the mo, leg gets stronger but get pains in new places all the time, but the swelling is still going down in the knee.
Thumb is much better but I cant fully extend it so dont know if I ever will lol, Arm is still the same, got Hospital monday to find out if its healing ok or if it needs rebreaking :/ and First Physio appointment in a month!

Ceramic coated magnesium

Sounds like a mix bad of progress there, brings back some not so fond memories too, but I wish you all the best dude, keep pushing that thumb though, I got told that if I didn’t really push my wrist it wouldn’t regain full mobility; and it ****ing hurt pushing that further and further.

As Dogbreath says, a cute Physio is a façade :eek:

Numberplates can ruin any good angle of a car or bike

Looking very scrummy indeed. :cool:

Not to be a killjoy or anything, but in the Aprilia community, Two Bro's systems aren't exactly rated very highly from what I have heard.

That said, it could just be down to individual experiences.

They suit your R1 perfectly.

I think it’s kind of the same with the R1 lot too, but they don’t rate the TwoBros cans as others out there give better performance gains, if anything the TB stuff usually gets good reviews on the sound output.

For me though it’s the sound I wanted them for, my bike is amazingly fast as it is, and I doubt that the 1-2 HP that these don’t make over the other favourites, will make much difference in road riding; so I can’t see what all the fuss is about.

Communities eh

Most people moan I think because they are Yank

Out of interest, how do you know when a bike tyre has had it? ie on a car you get to 1.6mm tread depth and then its illegal, is it the same for bikes? Only their tyres always seem to barely have any tread

PyroboyUK · 3 Oct 2009 at 07:19

Looks Great! I was thinking of a Two Brothers can for my CBR. Great looking can and the end pieces really set em off. Just had problems sourcing one at the time

1mm min across 3/4 breadth of the tyre, but there are some legal ones that barely look like they have tread across 3/4 of the tyre!
But bike tyres can go bad before the tread goes, if they get a lot of blueing or whole tyre goes a grey colour its lost all its good grip, and I personally would not use them, seeing as there are only two

Yep, really nice cans I think, I especially liked how the pipes had to be attached to the silencers, so it makes fitting a lot easier then cans with fixed pipes; at least that’s how I found it, only issue was with the Akrapovic Y-pipe being a little too snug on the left one – cue rubber mallet :d

Got these from that online auction place (not sure if I can mention it lol), with a good chunk off of the RRP, the UK dealer was a pleasure to use and the shipping was instant.

Look really good, I think the bike though is crying out for a smaller plate and maybe small LED indicators though

I have a small plate on and never been pulled for it... as long it's not silly small.
