Well it's time (past time actually) to re-pack my Two Brothers carbon exhaust cans. You DID know that you have to repack them right?
From the Two Brothers website:
All Two Brothers Racing canisters are rebuildable. The length of time between repacks varies depending on the type of riding you do and the type of bike you own. Inline fours and sixes are generally very easy on the packing material while singles and big twins tend to be harsh on the packing. We’ve seen sport touring bikes with over 60,000 miles on the mufflers where the packing looked as good as new while we’ve also seen big superbike twins with lot’s of track time burn through the packing in less than 2,000 miles. If you need to repack your canister(s), repack kits are available (one repack kit per canister). The kits come with new rivets, packing material and a drill bit (#30) to remove the old rivets
So I purchased x2 TB repacking kits from BikeBandit.com
BikeBandit Part # TR-592714
Two Bros Part # 005-10038
Cost: $18.86US (each pack- 2 required)
Shipping: $25.00US for UPS International.
As a note, I usually NEVER purchase items where the International shipping comes via a courier (UPS or FEDEX) as the added brokerage fees (around $40) kill us Canadians. However, after a lengthy chat with a sales rep at BikeBandit, he assured me that ALL taxes, duty and brokerage fees were calculated into the $25.00 UPS fee. UPS did call and ask who was going to be responsible for the brokerage and I promptly stated "the shipper". Package came today with no 'extra' bill. :thumbup:
I've scanned the instructions (pdf) from Two Brothers and uploaded them here for download:

I will be tackling the repacking of my cans in the next few weeks so stay tuned for a full write up and pictures! :thumbup:
