Quick Google gives nout...?

Mojo?
why do you want one? Have you damaged yours?
Just want to try a HV can.
Had one on a multi-link FS a while ago and it improved the stroke feel, and amount of travel.
This bike is a single pivot so not so sure it will work as well...?
I think I've got an almost new one (5 rides?) that came off the RP2 I put on my Prophet (if you're thinking of putting it on a Prophet, don't!).
I'd have to check, but you can have it for £15 if you want/I still have it.
Failing that, I got my low volume one from mojo. It was about £30/35 plus postage, I think.
EDIT - just read the single pivot bit. On my prophet, the larger volume meant I raced through the travel really fast. Much improved by putting the standard sleeve on.
Thanks for the offer Brown. I'll give it a go. PM you in a bit
Sorry mate, scratch that. I can't find it anywhere.
Mojo's the place to go though. I rang them before buying mine and they were pretty helpful about which cans would work and suggestions as to how I could bodge the HV can to work like the standard one. I'd give them a bell.
what tune is your RP23? I mean compression/rebound tune? What bike is it?

Sorry, not too sure what you mean tune. Do you mean what I've set it to?
if you look on the air can it will say by means of some graphic symbols, there are 3 symbols
if one symbol is high lighted then it is a low tune, if 3 are highlighted then its heavy?
Thanks for that. I'll look when I get home at luchtime and post it back up
Which tune would are we hoping for?
well my HV sleeve on my RP23 is low compression/rebound and the shock is crap!!! Not very supple and blows through the travel very easily - so you have to run less sag to stop it bottoming but small bump compliance is shite! Santa Cruz spec these shocks but are useless on single pivots.
What I have done is put a shim in to reduce the volume of air - totally better shock now (i run more sag, its very supple and fails to blow through the travel) - however im gonna get a coil as a Heckler performs better with one!
There are 3 sticks and an arrow pointing to the longest
ok high tune then!
are you happy with the shock ATM?
Fairly, yes. I suppose I would like a little more efficiency on pedaling, a little more travel, oh and less packing up under braking, with a sweeter feeling trail action!
Seriously, as you seem better versed in suspension than me, what characteristics are likely to change with a HV can?
Like I said, changing to one on a multi-link FS gave more travel, and a more linear action - no ramping up
I have a feeling on a single pivot it may not work quite as well...
I wouldn't recommend it on a single pivot but your probably best speaking to tim at tftuned-they are experts!
Gotcha. Cheers for that, I'll give them a call
I've got an 07 Heckler with a large volume can on the RP23. The large volume can is a sleeve over a standard can connected with a hole in the standard can.
I agree with above, blows through its tavel too easily so I have the outer can full of grease to reduce the volume.
(14st - Large Frame)
I've not seen the large can fitted over the standard one.
When I tried a HV on a previous bike it came as separate can you fitted by itself
I think I'll give one a whirl, as I posted a question on a [url= http://forums.mtbr.com/showthread.php?p=6241817#post6241817 ]MTBR thread[/url] which returned ambivalent feedback
The large can is a seperate item, but when it comes you will see it is effectively a sleeve over a standard size sleeve, joined with a hole.
