cheers stan - sounds good as well m8 lol never tried a 1250 with a standard can on mine came with a beauwolf tri oval fitted when i bought it you didn't miss owt stan lol
I'm running Bridgestone 023's the GT ones for fat lasses - they came fitted new with the bike and must say I'm well impressed with them there also quiet , I stopped using Michelin as they wore down too quick
your right Alan at slow speeds I was getting a vague feeling of dead weight at the back of the bike with the stock can well that's gone now, I did notice as well its not the first time the stock cans been removed so previous owner must have swapped at some point
