Title: Arrow CF endcaps? Post by: TobyDanger on October 03, 2008, 11:09:27 PM I'm hoping to buy the CF Arrows for my S2R in the near future. I've seen some listed with stainless end caps and also with carbon endcaps. I've seen plenty of pics of the carbon/stainless but I haven't seen any pictures of the carbon endcaps? Does anyone have these or have a pic they can share?
Thanks! Toby -=TobyDanger=- Title: Re: Arrow CF endcaps? Post by: Raux on October 03, 2008, 11:30:50 PM (http://blog.desmoworks.com/images/estore/Arrow/696-monster-arrow-slip-ons.jpg)
Desmoworks has them for the 696 so im sure he does for the older bikes as well. PLUS he's a sponsor Title: Re: Arrow CF endcaps? Post by: TobyDanger on October 03, 2008, 11:53:30 PM Yeah actually I saw those just after I posted, but I guess I should be more specific to say I'm hoping for a pic of the arrow carbon pipes with carbon end caps for the s2r/s4r or other cylindrical pipes. The 696 cans are ti and kind of conical with that flange on the end cap. I think they looks great for the 696, but it doesn't really give me the image close enough for what they'd look like on my bike...
And of course Desmoworks is on my short list of shops to buy from, as is Ca-Cycleworks, who actually have the carbon/carbon pipes listed on their site [thumbsup] (but linked to a pic of the ti/stainless :-\) -Toby Title: Re: Arrow CF endcaps?

I have the Carbon/ stainless ones on my 6 S2R1K & I also have a spare set of endcaps with baffles...... been meaning to install them but I'm too lazy to drill out the rivets on the stock ones [laugh] Title: Re: Arrow CF endcaps?

Do they have the lip inside that lets you run the baffles ??? Oh yeah...... take the reflectors off the forks 8) Title: Re: Arrow CF endcaps? Post by: desmoworks on October 05, 2008, 05:07:16 PM That's interesting, I guess I stand corrected too... I have 2 Arrow distributors and neither of them have those listed. That is the first time I've ever seen an S2R with carbon end caps. Arrow does have them listed on their site though. I wonder when they became available.
How long have you had your system? Hmmm, Here they are on my s2r... (http://gilbert0.smugmug.com/photos/365045323_RqoYB-M.jpg) Title: Re: Arrow CF endcaps? Post by: TobyDanger on October 05, 2008, 10:57:35 PM Oooh, sexy bike Danno! Thanks for the pic! It looks like the carbon caps are a bit rounder and a bit longer than the stainless caps... eeenteresting...
Gus Duc: so you're saying you CAN put baffles in the carby's? But you need to drill out the stock cap and fit a different cap? That's my biggest worry is the Arrow's will be too loud. I'd rather have the carbon, but have been considering the Ti just for the removable baffles. Title: Re: Arrow CF endcaps?
