Are the large headlamps a feature of German market model, if that's what you have, ie not an imported JDM model?
yes, that's a German NC30

I like the look with the larger headlamps, ala RC45 etc

Zebulon - I think that exhaust can looks to big, fitting a thinner exhaust about 2" shorter would finish it off nicely in my opinion.

I agree with Alex, a Tyga or a Ethos can would look better, having said that it's a lovely bike I'm a fan of the big light NC.

Hi !
It`s not so easy with a smaller can ! In Germany you need a E - Number on the Exhaust to make it legal . If the Tyga - Can has a E - Number i have bought one for a long time . I ´ve got a Fuel Exhaust with no legal Number and drive it sometimes , but most of the time i use a Can from the Kawasaki ZX 6R , its big ;-) works fine and has a E - Number .

I think the muffler looks fine, the size suits the period of the bike. It's no bigger than a standard muffler and looks better.

Nice bike.

Spot on, I am struggeling with it myself, I did research but could not find a small round one so I ended up with the Viper, actually I am playing with the ART can I bought some time ago. That one is of course not looking like "original".

I would love to have one that has the original diameter and length, I don't care about the "E" when it has the right look :mrgreen:

Finally I got my new FUEL exhaust. 10cm shorter than the VIPER, 200gr lighter, same diameter, no "E". Not tested yet.

@Zebulon, I see you have a new can without -E- number....but I read in your previous post that you need this mark in Germany...why going off the path whilst knowing not legal. Will you get in trouble or not? Just asking :peace:
