I am looking to change the standard silencer on my 1400 GTR and am really taken with the Akrapovic one, I would be keen to hear from anyone who has one and understand how they have got on with it. I love the look of it but am a bit put off by the price.

Thanks G. :smiley:

Never seen one on a gtr , think the price has put everybody off, :biker3:

O.C.

I made my own link pipe and fitted one to my 2008 GTR, it sounded and looked great, Akra quality is second to none in my book   :yes:

Said the man with the most Carbon blinged machine in the country  :mfr_lol:

In fairness to Nightrider the pipe has only been listed as a fitment of recent most who wanted have enjoyed making their own fitting arrangements.

Even when I was a dealer the price made yer eyes water

Mind you the strength of Aussie Dollar against Euro it's going to be cheep as chips  :mfr_lol:

They are the best quality so go enjoy. To my knowledge no remap required   :banana:

I finally purchased a Scorpion Serket in Carbon Fibre, very easy to fit, 1 hour from opening the box to riding off. The most fiddly piece was swapping the bump stop.

A big improvement in looks, sound and performance, very pleased with it.

Very nice sound :punk:

I have the Beuwolf version pipe, baffle removed and it sounds awesome.

And cheaper as well.

I had a moment of madness back In May and bought the Akrapovic for mine, I went for it based on the sound from them in general and just to be different.
The sound with baffles in is pleasant and a big improvement plus track legal for those days of playing a bit more, baffles removed and it is just a different beast altogether and will confuse most people into looking for a sport bike.

I have no regrets in buying it and the workmanship is excellent,  the titanium link pipe weighs about the same as my mobile phone but the silencer is still relatively heavy  and I'm sure some are lighter.

Totally unrelated, what are the crash protectors?  :smiley:

They are the genuine Kawasaki ones, ridiculous price but have saved the panniers when dropped whilst stationary.
