    Top is stickered, bottom is laser etched. I think the bottom one was a Honda option or standard on some bikes possibly the SP.

    Went through the 20 page exhaust thread (very helpful)

    Pipe with the bulge is expansion chamber (street legal) as per SP. Other pipe is open (not street legal) does not use servo motor/exhaust valve.
    I think.

    Deffo looking for 2011 on now. Will take some more time to raise the extra dough. Will want a sport pack bike so that narrows it down a bit..
    I know you don't need a PC with a different slip on but it seems to help a bit and as I can't go there with insurance so it will have to be a SP with the road legal akra...

    its not that's there nothing wrong with bike....really hard to tell if its spent all its life being thrashed around a track...... but a 2008 (gold casings) with Repsol undies on is a no no.....as long as your told by seller..... and if registered correctly will show colour change if you do history check !
