Steve ,
Agreed,
Paul I'm testing the remus headers right now!! My experience with 4 previous boxers (3x1100s and a 1200GS) is dumping the cat is what works.

Perhaps it's better to let others be the guinea pigs who determine what works and what needs more development time.
just a thought from a tight fisted trixter :wink:

Yep, my friendly local dealer persuaded me to get one straight out of the box. 'Scuse me while I shuffle round in my shredded newspaper and chew a bit of lettuce.

It is a gorgeous looking can though - looks really good with the baffles out.

You can get all the info compared to stock here:

It shows the Akra as slightly lower on BHP up to 5700rpm but with a slight gain over 6000rpm. The torque is interesting though - way down up to 5700 and then a significant gain after that - proabably more comparable with the 1200gs.

Currently running mine without the baffles - still quieter than the standard Lasers on my old R1100S. More pics to come on another thread at the weekend, if not before.
