Sorry to say, I'm not loving it.
I think if you go after-market one big advantage is to reduce weight (& clutter!) so personally think a 3-1 system works better to that end. I'm sure the BF's are lighter than stock but the twins still look bulky and undoubtedly still heavier than a single.
Although I have a high level full can myself (& Blueflame even!) with the 1050 styling I think the GP style stubby cans look really well matched to the other-wise minimalist rear end (once the tail is hacked off!)

So not for my taste, but it's yours that matters & you don't need anyone's endorsement to like what you like.

i understand what you saying. but i really dont like the stubby cans, i prefer the twin cans.
As you say each to their own.

I was gonna go down the route of the single stubby can but after seeing these pics of those BF cans i think i am gonna have a harder decision now, they look real good on there. Only problem is i did have a bad experience with BF when buying a can for my previous bike, hopefully they got their quality issues resolved, the titanium can i ordered for my RSV1000 looked like it had been put together by a chimp.

No quality issues with mine either - nice piece of hardware.

Down in (not so sunny at the moment) Cornwall. Was gonna go to the excel show but didn't make it unfortunately. A mate of mine from up in Surrey went though and said it was a good show.
