Thought I'd share my little winter project with you folks, all comments welcome!

There's been plenty talk of a single can/toolpod setup for the Ten' since it came out, and I want one too, i've looked at every aftermarket exhaust i can find for this bike, and the only one i like the look of is the GPR system, but it's stupidly priced and therefore far too expensive to chop up, and even then the cans are a bit too long for my liking really. Others just don't look right because the cans or pipes don't follow the lines of the bike properly IMO.

Tony660X put a set of CarbonCanCo stubbies off Meach's old bike in the For Sale section on here, just the style i wanted - short with a carbon fibre body, figured I could make it work, lets have a go.

The left can is to be the exhaust, with the toolpod on the right, seems to be widely accepted as the sensible, simplest way to do it.

Only thing is, I dont want it loud. now there's a challenge.

I've gutted the 'exhaust' can, altered the internals to something similar to (though not as restrictive as) a standard exhaust, and repacked it with new stuffing.

i've not done anything inside the right side can yet, that can wait until i've got the other one properly finished, that way i've a spare incase my plan hasn't worked with the other one, after all i only need the skin and the ends for the toolpod.

They are now hung on the bike, and whaddya know- i reckon the cans are exactly the right length! sweeet! As an added bonus, there's space between the cans to fit a ToolTube, which i just happen to have lying around...

next is to make the linkpipe, i can do that no problem at work, but the problem is getting the bike to my work when there's 8 inches of snow outside, and it hasn't got an exhaust so cant be ridden. watch this space.

Some pics for now

looks great

Allo . I think 'workshop' is a bit grand for a draughty shed with a tarp to keep the snow out, but thanks for the sentiment!

Aye, chainguide. I've not done anything with just yet, profiles have been lying in the bottom drawer since they and the others finally got cut by those muppets. I'll put it together and let you know.

You sold yours yet?
