Sounds and looks a lot better with that Arrow can, hope you're going to treat us all to an on-bike clip (even if you're using a potato), one thing I like about Kwaks is that induction roar
thanks and yeah ill try a pickup an action cam when I get chance,idk whether to add the sticker or leave it plain?

soundwise its on par if not slightly louder than my old art can
the guy I kept asking said next week ill make some link pipes up,been saying that for months so im still waiting on that,if I cant get one made ill just sell it on,the arrow one is louder than the akro so ill probably stick with the arrow now (the original akra link pipe is £160 odd pound and im not spending that much on it)
yeah I might grab one but ill stick it over the strap aswell so it looks all in one,the strap cuts right through the centre of the sticker
should looklike that

yeah the came all new complete with stainless bolts and copper washers,get some in red they look the biz EDIT or white haha
I think I spent around £3500 getting it all repaired,i bought it for £3100 +£120 delivery,the smashed fairings/replacements were £300 (side/top/right hand bellypan/headlights)
then with all the extras like lights/exhaust/brake lines/tail tidy im waiting on I reckon around £3750-£3800 all in
which isn't too bad considering its only done 4281 miles

I took a big risk though,if the frame had of been bent I would have been screwed I think I got lucky tbf,whatever its hit it looks like its glanced of it and not done too much damage,the biggest damage was the tab on the fork leg snapped off,the rest was a case of unbolt/bolt on new parts and a little plastic welding
I think id buy a cat c again though or a cat d as cat d its only cosmetic,you can still save a lot over an undamaged machine
helps going to look at the bike aswell,give it a real good going over
(just wish mine was white,they look awesome in white)

tail tidy arrived today so test wired everything up,whoever had the tail tidy has wired the led indicators too short,im gonna have to solder lengths of wire on them to make it easier
the flash rate seems ok to me?
Yeah,seems OK
Integrated tail light was only £10 from China,be decent if it lasts,I might solder on some connectors so I can either have it all working like in the vid or disconnect/remove the external indicators

I just used a jam jar half filled with brake fluid,and a suitable length of clear pipe that will fit really tight over the bleed nipple,then the other end of the pipe remains submerged under the fluid in the jar
Then pump the lever to build up pressure and open a quarter turn the bleed nipple till to lever reaches full travel/hits the bar,then close the nipple and rinse repeat until you see no air bubbles coming out and the lever becomes firm,all the time keeping an eye on the fuid reservoir and not letting it run dry
No real need to buy a bleed kit but up to you really
Pop in a local tropical fish shop and ask for a metre of air hose,its a tight fit but works perfect

I just removed the front mudguard,you can either fully drain the system or just do what I did undo the bolts and catch any spills and put the bolts back in temporary till your ready,it'll stop it leaking out,i put the bolt back in that goes in the yoke its where the original lines split into a Y shape,mop up any spills with a rag and wash everything down with hot soapy water afterwards
EDIT: you do most of the bleeding through the nipple up by the lever,being radial brakes/lever,still bleed a little from each caliper though

oooh an alarm,you are posh it does sound rather meaty I like it
those akrapovics are so expensive
I think you'll be ok with the lines,id never changed any before and it wasn't too bad (its easier to bleed with the nipple near the reservoir)
I like your swingarm covers aswell,only gripe about those is how they attach? I think they use black silicone type adhesive on them,i might cheap out and do glossy carbon fibre wrap (just to protect the paint from the stone chips as they always chip around there)
