    Akrapovic ?

    Hi. I have a little xmas bonus coming my way. Well actually a bit of compo due to a accident at work.

    I have decide to go for the Akrapovic,s

    2 questions. First were can I get hold of a pair for a Varadero V3
    and second. Will they fit without having to remove pannier brackets etc

    Thanks in anticipation for any help.

    Rob.

    what pannier brackets have you got, I can only presume the honda OE which I believe mount also on the inside of the zorst cans someone had posted this youtube clip not long back and the cans dont look any bigger if anything just thinner
    sound nice volume up to full and press play

    Apart from sounding good, do these actually improve performance in any way?

    Too much "wannabe" for my tastes. But it's your money.

    I would only change them if they need it and if they were cheaper than the OEM equivalent.
    They do sound nice though.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE
