R1 carbon can mount rivet????
02GF74 - 29/9/09 at 11:17 AM

What have peeps done about the rivet holding the mount for an R1 carbon can?

I have removed the mount as I will be holding it nearer the outlet so I can use my existing mounts on the car but it leaves me with the rivet?

Grind it smooth and put a sticker over it? Paint it black?

Or ?????

move the big blue arrow sticker along a bit so you can't see the rivet

Watch they it doesn't leak. My modded R1 can leaked like a sieve through that rivet. I knocked it through and put another on in, which solved it.

I used the original strap on mine but in a slightly different position, so I filled the old rivet hole with a blob of silicone sealant.

I'd move the mount on the car to suit the pipe. I've seen a few people move the bracket and then the can ends up cracking
