r1crusher Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Well, I picked up the last of my "goodies" for the bike on Sunday. So I've started wrenching on the bike. I don't imagine I'll see too many bike with this setup....and no you're not seeing a photoshopped pic of two cans.Update: The work is done see the goods below!!

Moto-Brian Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Interesting you didn't get a single side system. I suspect that Akro doesn't make one since WSBK requires dual.Whatever the case, nice to see someone buying a good system and one that is as much a work of art as it is functional. Good looking stuff, man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good looking stuff, man.I wasn't aware that WSBK required duals, but actually they do make a full single side. I really liked the look of the duals and I wanted something different. Like I said I highly doubt you'll see very many full Evo dual Akro's running around. Besides, if and when I decide to head into the motor for some work it will more than support the mods. Gotta think ahead.Those look nice.... Akro makes quality stuffI'm very happy with the quality of it (in the box). The first thing I did was knock out the baffles in the cans. I want to make sure whoever is behind is going to get a nice big sniff of my exhaust. I'm so ready to get rid of that huge dip in the torque curve and get the mid range where it should be.It's about half torn down right now, I have to get the front upper off yet. The rad is drained, front wheel and broken fender off, mufflers and cat are off along with the servo motor for the SET. Just need to get the radiator and headers off then the good stuff starts going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moto-Brian Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Please tell me you didn't actually knock the baffles out of the cannisters...You pretty much just ruined any good power increases if you did... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted April 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Oh no no Lizard....there not really baffles. Their actually noise reducers that are installed in the end of the cans. Sorry for the confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't imagine I'll see too many bike with this setup....and no you're not seeing a photoshopped pic of two cans. Prefer duals over single. That's gonna look fantastic.

r1crusher Posted April 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Update: I got the pipes installed, new radiator on, new front fender, and the new voltage regulator. Filled it up with coolant, burped it a couple times and fired it up. Sounds ooohhh so schweet. I have to recheck the coolant, throw on some panels and clean it up. Pics will follow if I can get it back together today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shittygsxr Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Was the bike crashed or something? Why a new rad and v. reg?I think his neighbor "backed into it," ever notice that nobody has ever crashed their bike it is always the "previous" owner or somebody hitting it. If mister crusher was actually riding it, then it definately would have been a very low speed drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted May 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 It was my best friend of 12+ years that backed into it. I'm guessing me and you shitty are going to have to settle this once and for all. Me and you....behind the school....3:00pm. LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
