    Thinking of selling my old RR5 Respol - to make room for the new RR9 Repsol :D (Pics will be up soon) :D

    Decision was made to change, as i wanted something newer and different... hoping the RR9 is a better bike to ride..

    I think i will be taking all the add-ons off the RR5 - I need to make back as much as i can..There is a BIG list will be in the for sale section over the weekend.

    Just not too sure about the Akra Full Race System with baffel (road legal) - Could i possible get £500 for this? or would that be pushing it? i know they dont come up often? or shall i leave this on the bike as it will get me a sale..?

    I will need to buy or get standard headers and a cheap after market exhaust to go on the bike - so will need to factor the costs in and ofcourse time to change over.

    Just found this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-CBR...pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts_13&hash=item4168bd10cb

    Not worth fecking about with the exhaust if you haven't kept the standard system to put back on.

    Time is money and overall a RR5 aint guna fetch that much anyway in the grand scheme of things.

    Where abouts are you? I have an oem exhaust system from my rr7 sat in a box. If you are close and they fit an rr5 then I'm sure we could do a deal.

    thanks guys..

    the oem exhaust if i remember was a pain to fit - i recall afew years back i tried this and i could not get it working (when a fter market exhaust is fitted something is removed from the blade) i cant remember

    Martin who is lamb chops?

    loads of parts - after market and other bits i been keeping as spares should i drop the blade..

    creating a sheet with how much i would like for each thing.. will send it across when ready - as i see you have the same repsol..

    Yea let me know when you have done the list and I will have a read through
    Lambchops is a member on here doing the engine conversion project on the old blade, I know he has the headers as he just got a really good deal on a Ti set so I'm sure he will be selling the standard ones now
