They do carbon tubes in round, oval and tri-oval, they are in all sizes, and have the exact size of mine, they also have all the ends that are needed to make up a complete new can, including.... straps and baffle's.
They also have stainless steel tubes as well, handy if you are needing to replace a tube, or even make up your own carbon cans.
The carbon tubes for my size which are 450 x 110 are only £37 each, but i am thinking of going for the tri-oval carbon with ends to fit my link-pipes, hope this is of use to someone.

Yep, use them and have done for years, there`s no need to pay through the nose for generic race cans.
My Skorpion, currently running a two into one is to get a two into two slimline system in the near future, I already have some Skorpion replica pipework I intend to modify.
Will be high level, exiting either side of the seat. Here`s a Skorpion replica:
I WANT a pair of those lightweight Marchesini wheels that were standard fitment on the Skorpion replica, alternatively I`m going the spoked wheels route when I`ve sourced some suitable hubs.
The stock Grimeca wheels are feckin heavy, the rear alone (complete) with tyre fitted is around 42lbs!
I would happily go down in tyre size on the rear as Skorps are `over tyred` in reality. So if I could find a 17" TZR 125 rear (3.5 x 17) or a TZR 250 17" rear (4.00 x 17 I believe) I could drastically cut the unsprung weight and sweeten the handling even further.
Aprillia RS125 Marchesini`s come up now and again, these can be `made` to fit and are really light.
Strangley the Grimecas also find there way onto the CCM R40 supermotard, a crazy choice when spoked wheels are so much lighter.
