?? -ART- exhaust (bolt on) - any good?
I am looking for a bolt-on for some sound and looks. Have you ever heard of these guys? They sell a lot in Europe, and have a limited presence in the US. Lifetime warranty on the can.
Opinions or experience with these?

They have a cool looking green anodized exhaust can.
and a nice looking c/f tank protector.

I don't know about their exhaust. I have seen there carbon fiber work. Fenders etc and it is perfect. Almost to perfect. The weave is so small and tight it almost looked fake. But it isn't! Their exhaust look primo and all of the European magazines say alot of good things about them.

Thanks, Zhool! I agree ... I spent last night just following Google threads about ART exhausts (mainly European). All positive. They won't ship to the US, but Denniskirk stocks their parts.
.
They have an anodized lime green can that looks great on a green bike. The bike has enough power for my needs, so I need a few poseur parts to make it stand out!
.
The c/f tank protector looks great too.
.
So, hope their reputation holds up. Ordering some of their stuff today.
.
Thanks again for the opinion. It helps when I find that someone else has heard of this outfit, and can vouch for their products!

If it is the "Art" That advertises in the front of Brit Bike Magazines, Some of their work is Perfection, but all is not and that is not the problem, Dealing with them! They have the Normal British sense of Urgency. (Read a month or two before you receive your order). Find one of out British members and ask them!

Dad put a rainbow titanium ART can on his 12. Got it in a week from my local dealer. Sweet. I believe it was from Parts Unlimited. I'll try to scrounge up a pic.
On the other hand, we ordered 2 of their CF huggers with aluminum chainguard/mounts. Snazzy looking but the aluminum was very soft and prone to bending and scratches. The CF was so thin it looked like swiss cheese had a bad finish and one had an irregular shape to the edges.
