    I need a favour from you guys with the S shaped link pipes. Could you measure the distance from one side to the other ie the max diameter of the two curves of the S and possibly some pix? Hopefully one of you will be at Odiham or possibly Zeepony's barby/piss up?

    I've got a Yoshi slip on my blade which you can have a look at on Friday if you need?

    Yes please mate, if I can get at the link pipe for measuring and pic taking that will be great. What beer/lager do you prefer mate????

    Looking good. You should see good gains with that exhaust. They work well on other bikes anyway

    The infill panel looks well made too.

    I did notice a bit more grunt low down with out the baffle in, but the noise was just a bit two much for me (wimp)
    The infill panel was his prototype and it works well
    the bike runs fine on standard fuelling but i will be putting on a PCV or even maybe a bazzaz at a long shot.

    glad that all came throu hassle free for you mate. Bargain of the year that!! Have you took it for a spin for a sound check ? My scorpion didnt sound to loud reving it when parked but had an awesome growl when you was going down the road, especially under engine braking

    Hiya I had this Akro fitted from new without any warranty issues. sound great even with the baffles in.this photos where taken the day i collected it, the dish plate reg has since been changed for a smaller one with Midlife Crisis 2 on the bottom.
    sorry guys and girls that the photos are over size but i have no idea how to re size to fit. Perhaps some one would be kind enough to let me know how to do it for next time.

    That looks nice, has anyone fitted a Taylor made exhaust? and did it need a power commander?

    Alot of people are complaining about the taylor made due to poor built quality and it falling to bits

    I haven't had one so can't slag it off but if you search a bit you will find alot of unhappy people who have fitted them.

    For best results you would need a power commander but it will run ok without one.

    As FlatstickHRC says they look great however the quality is simewhat dubious, also numerous reports of the bike down on power once fitted!!!

    Do a search on Honda CBR 1000RR Motorcycle Forums: 1000RR.net across the pond, plenty of info on them there.

    Thanks, that is what i thought. I popped into my local dealer and had a look at the titanuim akra that they are fitting free with the new blades and i have to say that it looked gorgeous!!!! mind you at £900 i should think so too.
