Guys,i've just started to fit the seat unit to the Kr1s-500 and can't decide if the exhaust can looks better with just the stinger showing(image 2) or with more of the can showing(image 1).Don't worry about the gap between the can and the seat unit its just resting on for show at the moment.
By the way its not an Arrow can its one i knocked up and put a sticker on it.
I would welcome your input.
Cheers Daz

I don't like seatpipes ...
but the second one is just plain ridiculous
(and the pipe at the end is too long)
My ultimate goal is to die young as late as possible !

sorry, but both don't look right to me......
Why don't you make a hole in the seat unit with just the stinger protruding?

Agree 100%, think that would look much better.
The last time Liverpool Fc won the league, George Michael was black and Michael Jackson was straight or visa versa, it's that long ago I get confused.

Hmmm, just to be plain awkward but.... Neither look right to me...
Could we have a few more pics... maybe showing more of the back end.... just to see it in context with the rest of the bike ...
Sorry... Just tricky to tell from those pics

I understand what you are all saying.After looking at it again i think the problem is the tail unit having a straight line on the bottom and then introducing a curved surface.I like the idea of poking it thru a hole in the back of the unit....Food for thought!

I'll try and do some more photos this weekend showing more of the bike profile,but hole in the tail piece is looking favourable so far.

Hole in the tail piece sounds good, maybe off set it a little to the side of run? Uniformity annoys me!

both of the pics look a bit odd imo as the tail isnt big enuff and the stingers dwarf it some what.
