    Was thinking conical head for the bolts in titanium of course! For a more flush fit

    Yeah was just a trial fit so will probably till have a play with fitting and seeing if front or rear is better

    You pair of tarts. Lol. It's a machine it's supposed to have manly nuts and bolts. There something about cap heads that say it's built to last. Thank you mister Honda :)

    So project racefit/akrapovic is complete! Cost to complete £200 not bad considering a brand new racefit slipon is nearly £600
