Glad you got yours. Any chance of a couple of pictures to keep me going till Saturday? And are the baffles removable?

Baffles are removable by the looks of things

Nice view!

Yep very pleased with it, even dealer was impressed which is hard to do some times. Baffles will be "re-adjusted" at the weekend!

Looks very nice

Why does it have HP written on it?

Higher Price

Higher Price

Very good!

 

[Rushy]

"Higher Purchase" cos you need to take a loan out to buy one. Looks bloody nice tho.

Pedant alert

Its an Akra by the way not an Akro.......

 

[Elvisto]

And why did they put the writing on upside down

I was talking to a guy with an HP 4, 1000 R, yesterday, he had the Akrapovic on ,he'd taken the baffle out it sounded amazing,

Soooo just maybe

I don't want to worry you, but your bike appears to be upside down

Can we have a picture of the whole side of the bike, to see the full effect?

 

[Tonopah]

In the US it appears that the baffles in the Akra can are spot welded in.

Sorry don't know why it's upside down I tried turning the picture round 180• but it still came out up side down! Bloody computers. Will try again at the weekend with a shot with the whole thing as I did this one in a bit of a rush!

I think that they are in the UK as well, but from the picture I've seen, its only a small spot weld, so should come free relatively easily. I guess BMW has to do it to please the EU bods, but also make it relatively easy to snap the weld without wrecking the exhaust if you choose to remove them. I'll have a look when I get mine on Saturday.

I think the native one from NN, less the £200 sticker where you cover the manufacturer logo with "HP" has removable baffles.

I'm waiting on mine to arrive from NN.

Now fitted. A bit more torque, a few more bhp, and a sound that scares small animals and children
