Justin I'll see if I still have the sellers details. I can recommend this system 100% I'll do a quick review below now I've been riding it.
Phil, soooo glad I took the plunge thanks for the advice you were 100% right, a quality full system is an awesome thing!
After a few rides and a blat up the old road I can say it's transformed the bike! No more flat spots, sluggish throttle pickup or waiting for the power to kick it's now got strong useable power from nice and low, so now i want/need a steering damper
looking forward to riding it at the creek.

I like my backfiring/popping
Yeah, but the Kerker is a very different sounding pipe. Akra's are all about smooth dulcet tones rather than raw screaming, farting and burping. To be honest I'd prefer the Kerker on the ZRX as I think it suits the bike more but for a modern bike I'd prefer the Akra with the Kleen shit removed.

If you had a Kerker you may have to hand back a few of those 140 poines you've got too

Justin I got mine from ebay user "kawi-kid". His prices were substantially lower (read $1k for titanium and $100 shipping instead of $2.1k
) than all of the other sellers so I was a bit apprehensive but I just bought it, and it's perfect!
He doesn't have any items listed at the moment.... right place at the right time I suppose
If I hadn't have stumbled across him running them out I would have ended up jumping on a stainless Akra full system out of the states for around the same money I'd say. If you do go for one check if it's a race or road system. Mine's a race system so it doesn't have a bracket on the pipe to hang the fender off. It's ok tho, Glen at Allfixed rivetted the nuts into the pipe exactly the same as the road pipe and bent a little bracket up, bloody PERFECT job!
I got the pc3 2nd hand on ebay from "jk_bikes"
http://shop.ebay.com.au/jk_bikes/m.html ... m=&_ipg=25
once again good service and price, but no items listed at the moment
Drop one tooth at the front, full akra and pc3 Justin and our bike is TOTALLY rejuvinated! I'm so glad I've done it! It's always been a good bike, now it's bloody brilliant!
