    Very nice, you won't be sorry.

    Do you want to buy a Quill titanium end can for it. I've got one lying around here doing nothing.

    Very nice Boris, a bit big for my liking but then I always find it useful to be able to get a bike off the side stand

    Enough time for you to change your mind then.

    It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?

    What Sharri said. It's about a quarter of the weight of the standard box. Got a removable baffle which when it's removed sounds really good without being offensive.

    Basically looks better as well
