So, first changes done, Akro and Hang guards fitted. I found the guards more of a pain to get right than fit the exhaust.

You mean its wonderfully quiet with the engine off???
At a grand, it's silly money anyway, especially as, if you consult Akrapovic's website, you find that it only gives you an extra 0.5bhp at normal revs. Now if it gave you an extra 4 or 5.....

Yep, I jumped when I purchased the bike, I would not recommend it for anything other than looks, but since I’m going to respray the panels, what the heck..
