well after a few months of having a quill can - it gave up today on the m60 motorway while doin 70ish whilst goin round a slit bend - the end cap came off the bike went on the front wheel for a bref moment i slowed down and thought that could of been messy, the bike began to sound louder as the stuffing came out - anyway got home and I now have the stock pipe on with out the servo as i took the whole lead out when I put the quill on - quill are pants

I look forward to the I told you so posts

- took me 4hrs today to put the oe pipe on including a re-spray with some PJ-1

though the homemade pipe is nearly done - i will be up to see what you think in a few weeks

Will you be taking it back for a refund or fix?

Could have been nasty, you need to bring it to their attention in case another fellow Bueller takes a tumble, which could be fatal.

I had to report one of the work chauffeurs for driving dangerously. Didn't want to, but what if one of my colleagues was involved in a potentially fatal accident?

No Pash the can will be stripped and used for parts as and when i need them - I will bring it to quills attention face to face as their only down the east lancs from me- the can its self though was a one off ie stainless inner with a cosmetic carbon outer. it could of ended messy ive never been on the front wheel only before the rear yeh a few times. think quill need to either take the can off the market or redesign their fittings

Quill wont give a shit...been there, done that, several times

what would trading standards have to say?......hmmm problebly nothing!..

i know jim the ower well enough to listen to me if he takes it on board is a different matter - his son is the c#ck and only in it for the coin - shame really.

dont think trading standards would as the can does not come with a warranty - which at the time i did not know about

but surely they could act on an item for sale which is potentially lethal, a bit dramatic i know but you get the idea!...

no not really - the can needs to be welded rather than have rivets though it and made longer so the oe rear hanger can be used.

in other words it's poorly designed shite!..

got it in one - its just a eneric can which any one with half an once of know how can knock-up in their shed

could this be the start of a what products to avoid section?...

maz/pash/adam etc would have to give the say-so on that - free of choice sometimes is a bad idea - i was a fool and did'nt listen to the guys and went a ahead with the quill as I picked it up cheap but you live and learn

Hey, don't tar me with the same brush as these learn-ed folk, I know sweet FA.
