akrapovic full system fitted
#1
Hi all, fitted the akra headers and teamed up to Bos can as it has the correct stamps, as off for MOT, spoke to tester and he said as long as not over loud the akra can would have passed.
Slight problem my battery failed at test centre, so MOT with engine running then trip for new battery at bike shop, another £55, not bad I thought.
With full monty and new pipes this bike howls!
Instant drive from tickover, no dips or troughs, at 5k revs we are off! So much power all through the rev range.
Really impressive, just hard to hold on now :lol
Some weight loss too, also removed exup cables aswell .
Many thanks to Tmation for sale of pipes, a real bargain.
Off to try akra end can now, more throaty.

It looks the dogs and fits with pyramid belly pan.

Cheers all will post pics soon once I fathom how from new phone.

Jacko :lol

Jacko got a great deal on a set that another member was selling here a short while ago, JP. 

Unfortunately Akra no longer make these systems but they were close to £1000 before they got pulled from the line-up.

Very occasionally full systems for the Gen 1 appear on ebay.

Yes guys I quickly snaffled the pipes :lol
I have been afta a set for about 5 years. An alternative is a titanium arata system, but you lose the rear pegs as the can sits higher, I think faster by design sell them online and sometimes on offer on eBay. Around £750 though.
Will try and get pics up soon.
Cheers all Jacko Smile
