Its a baffled silencer so not repackable as such.

Speak to GeoffT - he's got an R1 can that he stripped out and repacked.

I'll post you a picture later.
The end caps are decorative only. Once off the end aof the can are folded shut like a baked bean can
I have one with the cap's off as we speak, i' let you know whoch end would be best. Having said that theyre cheap enough so is it worth it?

......stripped out, but not repacked. I've simply removed the tubes that join the baffles to effectively make one large chamber instead of the three interconnected smaller ones in the standard box.

This makes it a bit too loud (for my taste) for normal road use, but ok for Lydden trackdays.......

Sorry Geoff - I knew you had done something to an R1 can!
