Well guys i've just got done fitting the carbon Akrapovic. I have removed the centre stand as my right heel kept touching it anyway,plus i hate centre stands but accept their usefulness. It was an absolute pain to fit!! Although it looks and sounds fantastic i wouldn't relish the chance to do it...

Ive gone the other way and woundnthe front down to three rings, half a turn on the right shock and half a turn on the rear. I've left the spring alone. I'm 13st on the dot and had the same on my MT09. I must just lije the harsh ride! Carbon Akra is going on tonight!!

So tonight i said goodbye to my amazing MT09 and took delivery of a charcoal Tracer which is just awesome. Ive spent the weekend taking my carbon akrapovic, crash bungs and bobbins off ready to go onto my new machine. So...the question to ask you all is does the carbon akra fit with the centre...

I wound my forks down all the way, half a turn clockwise on the right screw and half a turn on the screw clockwise in the gap near the bottom of the tank. Amazing difference. Only changed mine last week after worrying for a year I might cock it up. A mate had his professionally set to these...

So Saturday night I was thinking about just going somewhere, an hour later a hotel had been booked in Edinburgh. Saturday morning was an early start and 6 hours with no panniers and my gear in my rucksack nearly crippled me!!. However now back at home and what an experience. My question to you...

Second that mate. 5 in a day was the record for me with drivers almost pulling out of junctions. However it was a really quiet bike. No excuse for those who couldn't be arsed to look

Shark speed r sauer. Its a noisy helmet. I ran it for a week without earplugs and it was droning. With the db killer in my dad said you couldn't hear it if in traffic, obviously acceleration adds noise for open roads. Safer option

Carbon akra without db killer + earplugs

Bought mine from eBay from an Italian shop, quality service and product.Took two days to arrive and it is awesome,baffle out and let the giggles begin!!

My mate had them on his gsxr 750,great tyre but I was told by a dealer the mt09 would just shred them in 1700 miles due to the torque. PR4's all the way as the mileage and feel is great

I installed my carbon akra yesterday and left the baffle out. Had my first ride with it today and my ears feel like they're bleeding it's that loud. I've put the baffle back in but haven't run it yet, I think it might be a tad quiet. listening to the startup. Anybody modded baffles with any...

Well the carbon akrapovic was fitted tonight and all I can say is oh my god!!! Spit's flames from low revs and sounds like an animal. Best thing ive ever bought!

Well it appears I have an early birthday present to myself as the carbon akra has arrived as scheduled. cannot wait to fit it today

cheers much appreciated

hmmm, I think I'll risk the Italian and check they're in stock. Thanks all
