I would think that it was an aftermarket can designed specifically for the (normally also tri-oval) GSXR1000 K5 and above.

(I think it's K5 and above anyway)

well thats the standard one and I think what Chris saw was an aftermarket one due to it being carbon?

GSXR's have a tri oval on as standard and the K5 1000's came with a special edition stumpy yoshie can for a while

Kwaks are all underseat
Yams also although the R6 has a tiny GP style one
Honda again underseat.

Suzuki are the only ones who still use starndard can positioning on there thou's with the 600's and 750's having GP style ones
