This happened, standard system while nice wasn't quite loud enough, so after having a PowerTech Slip on before my my 05 R6 i decided to give them a try on my RR.

I results are loud, Silly crazy loud but at the moment i'm loving it, plan is keep for now, get a PC5 and then a full Akra system in the new year.

Those little token coffeepot silencers do my head in

Hehehe nice.

uksoldierboy · 19 Nov 2016 at 20:50

Cheers guys it's obnoxiously loud, not for everyone, but I love it at the moment

Craig321 · 19 Nov 2016 at 21:27

Obnoxiously loud on anything 600cc+ is always awesome

A little obnoxious for me, I hope you don't get on with your neighbours!

Found a huge nail in my rear tyre, was a matter of time the amount of dirty filtering I do

Noticed it whilst on the opposite side of Manchester though annoyingly so limped home 20miles of motorway.

Will take it to the garage in the morning, I need my front tyre changed too so will take that and get it done too.

Had a blow out, ran over something and heard a huge pop, pulled over immediately and watched the tire deflate in seconds.

Ordered new Bridgestone RS10's front and back again

If you were my neighbour, I wouldn't mind it. You would probably see my window open up if I heard you fire that thing up.

That sucks. At least no further damage or injury.

Just finished fitting my rear hugger.

Installed LED headlight bulb and tightened the chain adjuster bolts to the right torque.
I already changed before the running light to led.

Also received my Halfords Advanced 200 Piece Socket and Ratchet Spanner Set

So beyond aesthetics, does doing that make a practical difference? Is the change properly noticeable?

There's a difference.

I upgraded my bog standard h4 bulb to the same led bulb and the difference is amazing, it's damn, damn bright. Almost no need for high beam on unlit country roads.

Fireskull · 25 Nov 2016 at 14:06

Got my H7 LED also this week, might have a go fitting on Sunday, off to the NEC tomorrow
