Hi, I was hoping to fit a full Akrapovic exhaust system to my 2006 Blade..............but the Tw...s have discontinued them. I will look out for a second hand one but they are a bit like rocking horse s..t. I can get a full system from GPR, but I know very little about them, apart from that they are made in Italy. The can does look pretty though ! So if anyone can give me any feedback on GPR exhausts I would really appreciate it, especially as it is a big outlay and I would not like to make a big mistake. Cheers
I had GPR cans on my BUSA and they were very well made. I would recommend them. I had the "carbonox" finish, which was very good.
Cheers Steve and Craig. The GPR does look nice. Spoke to the guy who does my tuning and engine work and he told me to go for Arrow. Personally, I dislike the style of the silencer options for the 06 and the yellow Arrow sticker bugs me. Will have to probably go with the better performance option thus the Arrow, unless I can find an alternative.
I have a gpr thunderslash on my 2008 blade, they are well made they are starting to change colour but this is due to oil burning rather than poor quality. i also believe mine to be down a few bhp but this is due to no s-link pipe. i think it is 1 of the nicest sounding cans around. Very nice exhaust at a reasonable price
before everybody comments the number plate was only like that for the day of its M.O.T as i needed a bigger plate and had nothing else to support it with, also all the nose decals are coming off soon i hope
I test rode a CB1000R with that exhaust on. It sounded great, but ran crap. I assume it did not have a PCV to correct the fueling.
i dont have a power commander on it either, it doesnt run perfect with the baffle out but to be honest it really is to loud, but with the baffle in it runs spot on
Yes they are the standard parts just sprayed white. the pannel under the exhaust is a leo vince part and that has also been sprayed to match
Undecided, see he has the White wheels etc to I'm gonna think about it all n nick the bits I like lol
What about Arata?? They have a sale in the states on 08 bikes at the moment Honda - 1.) CBR1000RR (08-10) Saw one on display in Newcastle it looked awesome .... Not sure how good that actually are!!
