ZX10R 2006 - Side Akrapovic Exhaust
« on: May 23, 2008, 12:15:45 PM »

Just got back from my mate's fabrication company and he fitted this brand new titanium Akrapovic side exhaust.

it took him less than 3 hours and that was including stripping off the old cans, heat shields, adapting the akra link pipe, making a hanging bracket for the carbon strap, cutting the fairing & swing arm plate then re-assembling the whole lot.

It fits like a glove and sounds great!  :headbang:

I think a few pints are in order for him  :occasion14: :occasion14:

it was for an R6 inc. link pipe but the reduction part was cut out and continued at full thickness.

I'm sure your mate would be able to fab a bracket  to mount the rear brake resevoir  behind the side panel or fix it to the rear m/c  . That would finish it off nicely i.m.o
