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.

Guys, early adopters always pay a premium, the trick is to bide your time and get to know your new steeds, before shelling out full list on what may not be fully sorted aftermarket go faster goodies. 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

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.
