    Has anyone tried any of the mega cheap kit on AliExpress? I bought some great indicators lights and some handle bar risers for Tigger. They were cheap and good quality.

    What do you think of these? The problem is knowing if they will fit and what will the 'can' sound like...

    There are some Al Panniers - been after some for AGES... Although I have just noticed the shipping cost - it would be cheaper to ride to china and collect!

    Not seen the site before mate, will have to check it out, a ride to China may be a tad extreme o_O

    For £50 I might just try the cans (after the mot!)

    It does look a bit hollow - there are other types with a removable baffle for £15!

    this is small too...

    Some people say that on certain bikes that the main sound suppression bit is in the 'box' with the catalytic converter which allows for mega small pipes.

    Do you suppose it would be really loud as the Tiger 800 is pretty damn quiet anyway...

    Then on flea-bay there is this... Very similar except the price...

    There are a few on flea bay for around the 30/40mark. My son has one fitted to his KTM 1290 adventure. Quite loud even when the baffles are in. To quiet them, i would recommend some wadding around the baffle. Think he paid £34 for his. The can is quite short in length. It seems well made. He's had it on about 2 years now without any problems.
