I bought one of the 225 mm ones. Its very loud! Build quality is not bad, but not  akrapovic quality. Worth the money  ;)
If it's broken, it's not fixed.

The company is British (D&K Motorcycles own them) but all the stuff they sell is made in the far east (alledgedly Japan ?)
Quality wise SOME items seem O.K (i.e exhaust cans) but I have heard horror stories about the wheels & rads.

no they are British

Cheers for correction lads! Well i did say "think"!Just the general opinion of other bikers i've spoken to,as i was thinking of buying one myself at one stage.Of course,a small amount of alcohol had been taken at the time.

Like Dogruff and Luke. I put these on me julie the other night.

Got an SP Engineering (very straight through and loud without the baffle) stubby end can, and I treated myself to some Renthal streetfighter bars. Might lose the foam and wrap onto another bike.

Some say that he eats habanero chilli peppers dipped in oil of capsaicin for extra bite and that his pyjamas are made from Nomex. All we know is, he's called Ad the Bad

Here are a couple of pics of the 225mm (70mm bore) Delkevic. It sounds like an F1 car :D
