    Just fitted an Akrapovic can to my 2015 Blade. Not had a chance to ride the thing yet, but it does sound sweet! :)

    Looks great, that is one of the cans I am considering.
    Where did you order it from, cheapest at the moment that I can find is £430.

    Thanks @iang27. I purchased it from Doble @ £467 using this discount code .... http://www.doble.co.uk/shop/

    I too noticed the £430 price. I was looking here .... http://emlineamoto.com/en/s-h10so11-t.html @ £434 (less 2% disc). I contacted them and they didn't have any stock at the moment. They also charged £10-15 for delivery on top. So, with the all up cost of £435-440 and the fact I was a bit uneasy about buying it when they are not based in the UK, and being out of stock, I was happy to pay the extra £20 odd quid and purchase from the UK. Got next day delivery too ..... hopeless at waiting on anything me :)

    Cheers @Blade048! I'm trying not to do too much on the mods front, but I keep looking round and finding new 'sexy' bits of kit!!

    'Modding' is an addiction, not even a spell in rehab could sort that out! Lol
    Looks like you've done all the main cosmetic things, hugger, tail tidy, seat cowl etc. If you haven't already done so, spend some money on having the suspension setup for yourself and then as and when funds allow maybe some performance mods like brembo mc etc. Out of interest what sort of DB level is that Akrapovic kicking out?

    Yeah, it's bloody addictive for sure! You must have read my mind as I've been looking for someone close to me who can set up my suspension. Think I'll get this done over winter. Used to have an Aprillia RSV Factory (V Twin model) with Ohlins and it was pretty well sorted so need to get close to that level again if poss. Here's a link to the Akra page for tech spec ....

    It's pretty loud, but not offensively so; well not to me anyhow :rolleyes: Looking forward to taking it for a spin now; need to wait though as it's pissing down (again!).
