SMC, Sheffield now doing it

Good stuff mate, hope it's ok as I'm in Friday ! I'll try and pop down for a brew tomorrow.

Dealers will charge about 1.5hrs labour to fit, based on Akra instructions. Not the most difficult job, as access is fairly good, provided you have the right tools, torque wrench etc.

Going with harpo and Stuart price mate. Be good to see you !

First track day booked on the MT09 tomorrow at Blyton Park near Gainsborough, with the British super bike school. It's a short flat left handed circuit, but weather looks good and a nice start on the MT. Done other tracks on the blade. This appeals as only 8 riders all day. Plenty of free track...

Had it fitted by SMC, took them 5 minutes and no charge. Top service as usual. Still quite throaty under acceleration, but missing the flames already !!

Looks and sounds awesome ! CMC have fitted the one they have on the latest demo bike, which should be up for sale soon, if anyone interested.

How easy were they to put in ? I'm considering it, is it still throaty. The deep bass at low speed is annoying, but maybe not enough to deny the growl at full chat. Plus I think I would miss those flames !

CMC rang me yesterday, the carbon akra is in stock. Be quick !!

Probably mate. Got the message about today. Enjoy Scotland ?

I'm lucky enough to have been lent a demo fitted with the system by my dealer SMC, Sheffield. Superb service by them as always. A taster of what tomorrow brings !

Indeed I do ! But that means CMC have a carbon Akra going begging, which should arrive with them in the next 2 weeks !

Sorted it mate. Only needed about 5mm. Next step suspension !

I've had a massive change of heart. Titanium Akra being fitted at SMC tomorrow. Baffles out and my dog hates CATs !!

Just found this....... http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FmlHjpWz3UI Oh I say !!!

On off road course till Thursday mate, been getting back about 3. Working days on Friday, will be popping in SMC around 11 for a brew if nothing happening. Be nice to see you mate and your new lady ! Done the CO change today to 14. Only had a quick run, but instantly felt better. You'll have to...

Mines gonna be another 3 weeks as Akra not sent the full commitment so I'll have to wait for the next shipment !

Good work mate, Pete mentioned he'd seen you. He was very complimentary about your MT ! Not altered the CO yet. Is it worth doing ? Shaggy

Yamabits have removed it from the website until they can sort supply out. Won't be long !

List price for the carbon Akra is 679 and most dealers are quoting 1 1/2 hrs fitting.
