i am running standard pipes with swarbrick end cans and when i ride (i tend to do the racer tip toe on pegs style ) my heel touches the skinny part of the pipe.
i really like the look of the usupported can thing but am concerened they wont be strong enough, what do you guys think

also will the vibrations damage the cans, do any of you boys run unsupported carbon cans

when i say unsupported i mean the straps that go round the can

Mine has unsupported Carbon cans, but I've not ridden it yet.

But, this does also concern me, dont want one falling off while I'm hammering down a dualcarriage way!!

so you recon the chambers can take it then
my concern was more the vibrations wrecking the cans.....

I'm not too sure, mine seem ok, but I dont know how they will take all the bumps that our wanderfull UK roads have!!!!

Ive been running unsuported cans....... for over a year and no problem but have been told that the cahmbers can fractur and crack through time.

if my mate every gets round to doing them he is going to make me some hanging brackets for my 21 with tyga pipes in stainless hoping to have them for the dyno day so if people are interested then he may be able to make up a batch of 10 or so was planning to see if andy was intereasted in selling them through the site

Dave S's cans are great - running them unsupported is ok but after a lot of miles or a good few years use, the rivets (if used on yours) can on occasion, work loose.
I've just had to shorten a set of carbon Swarbrick cans and redraw the rivets as they did just that.

Otherwise - cool.

My Tygas are fine but I have had a set of Gibson silencers that were unsupported, crack at the weld...

My full Tyga pipes and carbon cans survived two years of racing and a crash on both sides without significant damage.

Quality see?

I decided to check all the alloy and carbon cans I have - it seems that bikes withvibey engines will kill cans, the YPVS350 seems to have started to destroy a few alloy cans - great
