    Hi and welcome
    I'm just down the road in Melton Mowbray and will be the owner of a repsol blade in the new year.
    I know I initially said I was gonna get an hrc blade,so this will probably get the tongues wagging lol.

    I am at the NEC bike show next week on the lookout for an exhaust. Thinking of going with he Austin Racing as I have my last four or so from them and they are fantastic quality and sound the bo**cks. Love the look or the Taylor but have been told they knock the power instead of improving it which is a shame (unless I have been miss informed that is)

    welcome mate, missed the intro!

    the taylors are also made of chocolate by all accounts (but look the bollox). love the austin stuff, it's quality. but they have stopped doing the growler looking one which is the only one i'd have had on the blade tbh.

    Taylor made has some really bad reviews on quality aswell as power loss and for big £££ you would expect to get better quality!
    I have never owned one its just what alot of people have said, but they do look really nice!

    I had the TM exhaust mate and I can confirm it reduced the power a fair but and wasn't the most expensive looking bit of kit ;)

    I have the yoshi now

    Is that just a can and link pipe mate or have you gone down the route of filter and commander etc?

    Racefit sounds amazing but LOUD so I have full Yoshi system with PCV and K&N filter with dyno setup :)

    It's generally Akky or Yoshi for the serious boys and racefits etc for the antisocial hoodlums :D

    Has anyone got an Austin Racing or Arrow on here that you know of mate. Heard good things about the Arrow from a dyno guy and had Austins in the past so know how good they are

    Not sure if anyone has the Austin on a blade but there is at least one arrow user on here somewhere. The top makes are all about the same for build quality so it's just look and sound really
