She looks fantastic Rob! That Akra would give her a lovely throaty roar.

Looking good Rob.Great price for the slip on.
You pretty much got the same mods as mine.Maybe keep an eye out for a fairing screen,it just gives that finishing touch.

Missed ya on sunday you could have had the choice race me or the cops.... the pipe is sooo feckin loud even with ear plugs my head was pounding at the end of the day... cath recons in the north section of the old rd where you have the tighter left handers with the rock wall on the left hand side, the sound was awesome bouncing off the wall....
Note there is a small pop when backing off round 3k but its not that noticable so I will live with it at the moment before considering a PC111

Looks great Rob..
Try removing the KLEEN system, this should stop a lot of the popping. It did on my 10..

what he said ^^^
buy yourself a 13mm nylex "in line" garden tap (plastic ones they use in sprinkler systems)
and cut the rubber hose going from airbox to top of rocker cover and stick the tap into each end and turn it off or on depending on how much pop you want
we could do it at the party if your trust 10 drunk dudes with your bike
or come to the trackday and we'll do it between sessions

Blah.... just run a hose between the 2 breathers to block em..
How many times do you adjust the tap for popping Wattie.???.

thanks guys..... hey watti what about the tap & the heat generated woudnt it melt?
& dave the breathers sounds like the go ... are you saying to join them together? & what happens to breathers when they cant breathe?
We did similar to the ZXR for racing but mick did all the work & I cant vouch for what he did & how
