Its a road bike mate only did a couple of hundred miles on it, then my current bike came up for sale so it had to go. They are a very good bike well balanced and quite light for the size of them, saw yours in the other thread and you have made a wise choice. if you ever fancy a run out I'm at the glossop end of the woodhead pass give me a shout if your about.

cheers Dave

I have a cut down carbon Akra' on my fireblade Lee. It's sounds deep but relatively inoffensive at low revs.. . until you open it up. Over 6K rpm it screams beautifully. I remember thinking how well made it was as I sliced through it with my hack saw !
PS, it's Graham, "the windscreen man". Had to change my name on here for legal reasons or something ?

Think I might have cut a few too many inches off mine but it's done now. Had to buy another Akrapovic sticker from the bike show & it wouldn't go on straight so this is the end result. See the little plate on the end ? Says BSAU blah blah on it. I took it off as it was dented & it says "not for road use" underneath so quickly stuck it back on before the noise police came a knockin.
