So recently, some fine member (I will edit your name in later) found a place to buy aluminium tubing to fix and exhaust can.

Since I have carbon cans that are feather light but prone to breaking, I got some super secret backup tubes for my future.

(I have learned to be prepared if I want to have no down time for the bike.)

Here they are. They seem fine for my application. Will need a bit of machining to get them to fit over the end caps, then some polishing with steel wool for a brushed look.

I think it was $28 cost plus $14 shipping. I will wait til my CF cans are down to like 6" but this is a great idea.

 

Wow, the secret is out! That's a fantastic price! Not much thicker than my D&D.

 

Yeah, will be weird to become an alum muffler kind of guy after carbon. Will probly have to change who I hang out with and the clothes I wear, etc.

Hope it wont be too much and adjustment.

 

Biggest one is, as I'm sure you know, burn factor. It's nice to be able to bump against a carbon pipe and not get a scar to show for it.
