Ray, neat looking can.  I had a Yoshi on my '98 Bandit, rejeted and K&N air filter.  Ran very well, but not as well as my '07.  You said you blocked off the PAIR hose....what is that please and how do you do it?  Thanks.

I didn't change anything except blocking off the PAIR hose. It pops quite a bit on deceleration if you don't do this, but it still runs just fine. My gas mileage has dropped a little, but I'm pretty sure that's my fault for playing with the loud handle so much.  :grin:

It looks like the angle of the can is the same as stock, and the Scorpion is much shorter, so it might clear, but I'm not sure. I know Dale makes a sport touring can that rides lower for folks with hard bags. I know several others here have the Scorpion slip-on, so maybe they can offer some better advice regarding clearance.

Good luck.

Ray,

What is the size and what did you use to block the Pair air supply?

Thanks!

I had some pipe insulation foam left over from a surfboard rack I made. I cut about a 1-inch by 1/2-inch section, rolled it like a foam ear plug and shoved it into the hose. Worked like a charm. The foam is very dense, so I have no fear of it breaking down and crumbling inside the hose. As others have said here, almost anything that will fit will work, but I liked the idea of using something that I could compact and then would expand to fill the space.

The SCORPION cans also come with a LIFETIME warrantee and NEVER need repacking due to the SS mesh packing inside the can......SCORPION will also sell you a replacement can at 50% off retail if you ever trash it in a get off!! Great company!
I have the round one from Pipecity.

Nice Ray!  :beers:
