AS nice as the Racefit cans are they are way to expensive and i would think they would sell a shed load more by dropping the price down to Akkie/Yoshi prices!!

i agree, a lower selling price will attract more buyers,
result is more turn over :icon_thumright:

yea but higher turnover can require higher investment in time, equipment etc, also they will never become mainstream cause they are not just legally to loud but socially too(they sound amazing but i wouldnt want to piss of schiphol airport with the noise drowning out their planes from a couple of miles away) meaning volume sales will always be difficult.  Finally increasing production and use could persuede bastard browns government to regulate their type of exhaust

Best of all they are British ! 

Now Micron have gone to the wall we need to support our industry. Once we were the industrial heartbeat of the world, now we're a country of it geeks.  :(

IT geeks, yes that's too true and also yes what a pisser about Micron going to the wall , and prob because, me included   [wall] , we prefer Akra etc  :roll: . I recall when Micron was one of the top brands and they never really kept up with Akra etc unfortunately, bloodt shame really as I love the Microns in the 90's but they never moved ofrward enough to keep up with Arrow , Akra etc . just like the bloody car industry  :-/   I guess it's all labout costs that cripple the UK industries perhaps and obviousl other factors and it's a bloody shame.

Here we all are with Kawasaki bike and not a sniff of a Triumph  [whistle]

Micron were hydroforming their serpent headers long before Akro and co were doing it. There was never anything wrong with their product apart from maybe the styling. Brand snobbery did for them in the end i reckon

yes the serpent were from a long tim back and I've had Micron's on moist of my bikes until about 4 years ago. I think they just didn't keep up with the other manufacturers , just like so many british industries. Afterall we buty what we like regardless of whether it's British or not and they failed to get us onboard as buyers unfortunately  [wall]
