Not at all jumping down your throat, I just wanted this thread to be constructive. Good or bad points, but constructive. i value your input, and would like to have it in this thread.
Just to say 'sucked in, cheapest not always best' etc does not help. But as always your constructive views are most welcome.

I think RR's input on products is ussually very helpful and constructive. Just have to take a look at one of his product reviews, structured and impartial. Easy to get carried away whe you have an opinion sometimes eh... Just my 2p :happy2:

Robin, there is a fairly simple and lowish cost solution to your issues with having no sight glass, an issue which I too also dont like, but not everyone needs/wants this function or has the funds to pay the extra for it. Thats added to the fact that in the location when BSH intend the can to be housed, there is no room for a bigger can.
In the location in which both I as you know, and you have located our cans there is plenty of room for a bigger diameter can, with a sight glass....if you want to change the can for a nice sexy carbon looking can with a sight glass, I can offer this for not much more than the tow loops.... :happy2:
Rightly pointed out, I also believe a move away from the LHD mounting positions on all BSH engine products needs to happen if they are to maintain a good rep over here - some people will get fed up with their products not being bolt on, hassle free kits if the LHD issues are encountered too much over here. I am speaking to Phil@BSH to make this clear today.
I can see your points raised in this thread and the other but as people have pointed out, the information was there, along with detailed information and pictures on the BSH site prior to the purchase, but an 'upgrade' to a more comprehensive can wont set you back a great deal at all.
If I can be of any help or assistance in this department, do let me know.

....Excellent! I'm so glad you can see that my posted criticisms were essentially constructive feedback (designers, even retired, are hardwired into analysis and constantly asking how a creation can be improved). I'm very glad to hear that Phil@BSH will hear our collective thoughts - Manufacturers and designers are invariably helped and pleased to receive honest feedback, both negative and positive, and can filter it as they wish.
Just to clarify: I was never dissatisfied with the product overall and knew mostly what I was buying, though the proof of any pudding is in the eating. I'd be offering it for sale if I was so unhappy with it. I have no regrets about buying it and am grateful for the group buy.
I'm very interested indeed in the sight glass can you mention (I love anything "sexy looking") - What o/a diameter is it please? I just need to check that it won't severely inhibit a future high flow tubular intake if I keep the current location.
Nice one, Ben! :drinking:
