Noisiest cans were the Microns Hi'level Ovals, blimey what a noise!!!!

Least perfoemance, but very loud: Blue Flames.

Best performance with nicest noise: Renegades, and their hilevels allowed the pillion pegs to stay.

All their armour is Carbon/Kevlar underneath... Good job really as this thread will proove. http://www.abercon.co.uk/vtr1000/phpBB2...

I can also reccommend Darren @ MCTechnics if your in Anglian region.

He like Roger used to race them and like Roger is helpful and will only sell you what you need, including new rearshock from £250.00

If you have not done the forks, do them, it works wonders...
