I have used his exhausts on over 7 bikes and they have all been very wekk made and sound the Dogs. They come with removable baffles and you will need these for MOT time. He is on e bay and make pipes and cans for cars too. Very happy with his goods and less than £ 200 for cans, link pipes and baffles. :D oh and iam not on commision!!!

Yep, they have been excellent with me and made a special one for my Truimph 955 and it fitted between the wheel and swinging arm (1 sided obviously) but it looked sh1t hot. I have black cans 300mm long on my storm and they sound and look peachy. :D

With a nice tapered pipe into the can. The one thing I don't particularly like about Akras is the small outlet, I wish they made them bigger.

Yours is an 04 ?, you'll need to at least block off the pair valves, preferably remove all the gubbins or it'll pop, fart and bang constantly every time you roll the throttle back not nice, once the pairs removed you just get the odd bang on overrun, nice.

I've got quill evos on mine and they sound awesome good solid exhaust road legal with baffle in and still sound good but. I cnt have have them in as they are not loud enough for my liking ;) and they do sound like thunder when the baffles are out :) no re-jetting requires, cost £370 and come with a dyno run after fitting. There based in Warrington. I fitted mine myself then took a 200mile ride there and back for a dyno :) increase of 3.65 bhp. Not a lot but well worth the money for the sound :)

Freaky, watching Masterchef earlier and a plate of food was served and I said to myself (as you do :roll: ) "beautiful presentation and that fish is cooked to perfection" then the chef doing the tasting said the exact same words. I couldn't believe it. :lol:

Maybe or it could be just coincidence. I experienced proper deja vu only once in my life back in my teens. I was going on a camping trip to Buxton in Norfolk which I had never ever been too in my life. The night before I was a bit excited and had a dream about camping. The next day when we arrived it was the exact picture that was in my dream right down to the pub just outside the field we camped in. Now that was proper freaky. I will never forget that trip, I got head butted by a cow in the middle of a field one dark night. :lol:

Sorry virt I'm hijacking your thread. I shall get back to my large glass of Red now. :)

:p lots of views. Too much information to take in. :lol:

Don't worry Carl, I'm sure I've hijacked enough of your threads in the past to allow you this one :lol:

I've only had deja vu once, was on a scouts trip to wales and had a dream that we went sailing the next day and the wind caught the sail out of position and we almost capsized but then self-righted..

Next day, the exact same thing happened. And then after we were upright we got capsized :lol: No idea how it happened :thumbdown:
