Anyone into Akrapovič or planning on upgrading to Akrapovič full exhaust ?

Igor Akrapovič showing one of his early creations - founded the company in 1991 in Slovenia. He was a former racer and had earned multiple championship titles during his 10-odd years in motorsport.

Thanks @Ghostrider.1127
Appreciate the offer for an internet random

RHS= 30mm from throttle tube plastic. Probably 15mm clearance to tank

LHS from bar metal =37mm, with about 12-13mm clearance to tank

Which switchblock types do you have?

This guy has done same sort of thing on a VFR1200X, using Africa twin RHS DCT switches to control aftermarket cruise control. But OEM CC paddle preferable

Firstly, let me say thank you for 2 very interesting videos. As a UK guy I do like American Football, but after seeing this ladies game, WOW, I like it even more. As for the TT. Personally I would not have the courage, or indeed the ability to race the TT. My half brother on the other hand, Mac Hobson, raced it solo and then raced and won it twice riding the sidecars. Is it dangerous, most certainly it is. Is it worth it for the riders, I still think yes as I know how much my half brother loved racing there. Sadly in 1978 due to a known fault that had not been repaired on the road, Mac and the man in the chair, Kenny, crashed and died on Bray Hill. I like to think he rides with me still. I just wish I had his riding ability. 😎

It was a beautiful day out in Toronto. I took the bike out for a good 200 km spin
How about the other folks in North America ?

To and from work today

To and from work today

Ha ha No I played hooky @ work & called in SICK
Slept in & woke up late. Went riding in the afternoon.

 

[Bevo]

Ha ha No

I was answering your question, that's why I quoted it. I rode to and from work today.

After looking several models, I am leaning in on getting the ATLAS CRUISE FIXTURE. Mcruise cost a lot of $$ & too much work on getting it fixed. The Kaoko throttle control has a lot of complains by user who opted for it.
Does anyone have any 2 cents comments ?

I guess it's okay if you ride where it's flat, otherwise you'll decelerate on inclines accelerate on downgrades.

Last riding season, I did a lot of runs from Toronto to Montreal & back over the weekends & some weekends it was awful holding the throttle for long time. It's a 4.5 to 5 hr each way, approx 520 kms.
I also got the additional lights because of it too, as I usually leave after work around 6 pm.

of all the bodgy throttle locks, Atlas is probably best idea....

but MCcruise is real cruise control.. like on your car.... keeps within 1 or 2km/hr
is not that hard to install, with comprehensive instructions and video

Yes I understand. It i also 5 times the cost & efforts. Atlas is a better option, I believe compared to others out there
