Can you post a sound clip?Absolutely - I can’t think of one benefit.
This new can is the best addition I’ve made to a bike, and it was only £200 including the VAT on import.
It sounds fantastic - you can feel the reduced weight (6kg including the servo motor and cables) especially in low speed bends and around town. And it feels sharper.
The OEM set up must cost a packet, weighs loads so adds to fuel consumption, and does nothing except stifle the bike and give a worse sound. Just looked up the official replacement cost for the parts I’ve removed and it’s over £2k - prob adds a grand to the cost of the bike in the showroom. Replaced with a £200 can and £70 eliminator.
At least the pannier obscures some of the end can that looks like a passenger carriage from a pendolino strapped to the side of the bikeWasn’t looking forward to building the pannier locks but all done and fitted
