    Is this a standard length back box? As I was thinking of changing it?

    the carbon fibre is little faded around the sides, i think this is due to the heat shields still on the bike - and over time over heating causing the fading..

    Also its not loud enough and its a road legal can..

    I liked the Yoshi can better..or maybe even another aproprovic..?

    As long as your wife's happy, your brother can deal with his lol.
    Must look like a multi bike collision outside his house with 4 bikes in bits!

    Right...Bikes all together...and it sounds nice... in fact very nice...

    The only issue was when i tried to put the R&G Tail Tidy on, it was little too low and hitting the exhaust.

    almost as if the exhaust needed to be little higher..

    This did not make sense either..as the exhaust bracket is on correctly..and the exhaust is all connected and there is no movements...

    I have taken a pic - does the gap seem big to you - between the exhaust and the tail light...

    May sound silly, but have you taken the standard heat shield off?

    will have to do that this evening when i get back to my brother house..

    Remember the shield would be where the arrow is..

    is your shield still on?

    I dont see how the exhaust would go up...as all pipes are connected and can not be adjusted..

    My shield is off and I got some sticky heat shield stuff (basicly sticky tinfoil by a few mil thick)
    Looking at mine a gap doesnt show if you are stood up if you get what I mean, but there is a gap if you get down to the level your pic is. I also have a tail tidy but that shouldn't make much difference I wouldnt of thought

    Want me to post a pic so you can compare?

    I've got to admit that end can does look a little low. Do you have any pics of when it was fitted to the original bike for comparison?

    I know it doesn't help much as the tail & tail tidy aren't on, but here is how my Arrow end can sits.

    let me get home first - i ill take the back off and try again...

    will let you know if i need a pic martin..

    the exhaust has the clamp and the clamp is fitted correctly..hence there can be no more movement - as this sets the height..

    think i am going to leave work early..

    I've got some of this sticky back heat shield stuff & a template if you need some.

    I've done it to mine & have enough left over to go round again a couple of times :D

    Its well worth sticking that stuff on too Sam, oh and mine looked like it stuck out like that when flitting it and I was crapping my self as I got it cheap at the track and I thought I had been stitched up!
    It all falls into place once rear end is back together

    I took a pic of mine when I was out there and looking at it you may have a piece of trim missing under the light
