    Sorry been doing flood relief here

    Go for the racefit looks best in my opinion! Mine is the black edition with standard end cap so you can fit a baffle(noise reduction insert NRI as racefit call them)

    Thanks gilesy, racefit is the preference for me too now. Have a eBay search saved for all racefit systems :)

    Spent an hour or two tonight polishing the subframe to match the frame and mounted it. No pics though yet sorry.

    Thats the Growler system isnt it, prefer the black edition but not likely to find a black secondhand with the baffle piece like SPS's.. And cant really afford £450 + VAT new plus the custom mods I need to get it to fit. Shame Racefit are way up country too.. Will make that chap an offer see what he says :)

    Looks good, maybe extended too as far as top of tyre???
    That 05 looks wrong with that exhaust and swing arm though!

    Spoke to the boss of RaceFit at the MCN show today and he remembered me from the NEC show when I purchased my RaceFit Black Edition........ I mention what you were doing and he said if you give them a ring during the week, they would be quite willing to give you a price for just the end can.... Or have a chat about what your after.

    Yep..... Extended Swing Arm throws it all out of proportion.

    Oh very good jim, will call them next week! Will need some sort of link pipe I think looking at the pics of yours even the mounting point could work if I mount it to the rearsets... Ok will call them see what they can do for me :)
