To explain the situation a little....




I took a direct hit to my leg from the falcon, you can see a little bit of falcon front bar jammed into the bracket too
so now you can see why i need a new slip on haha, and a few other bits and pieces!
The old fella failed to give way, i was doing 80ish and he was doing 40ish, i was lucky to stay on the bike but then i bought it to a stop and jsut threw it in the grass and layed down and waited for a ambo.....
Sooooooo
The million dollar question is... What exhaust do i get next? Micron dont make the Carbon Fibre system any more, so im after suggestions....

shit, just read the story, you manage to do well with dumping into the grass, dosn't look like too much damage. so how's the leg? what about a slash cut, buell style?

Pull the pipe all together - then start it, will sound awesome...ear splittingly loud, but awesome all the same.
Wats the go with insurance - if the old guy's done the give way bit, then surely he should be up for costs and shit ?? That way you can fix up your bike, get the spare cash from your injuries - and come over to the better, Suzuki side ?? lol...sorry - that fukin sexye's sarcasm rubbin off on me...

Thanks brad, im still off work till tuesday

thank god for workcover!
Yeah mate! all good, insurance is picking up the tab for the slip on, im thinking carbon akrapovic will go best here now... its a smaller system too.

The AKRA im looking at will be similar size to the one posted by TTV8, looks to be smaller in circumference and length, haven't got a pic of one on the bike but ill probably roll with this!
But im still umming and ahhhing about a screamer pipe, micron have some sexy black ones.... but i dunno if i want my bike to be that loud haha, it was already really loud with the old micron carbon pipe.

Ok a bit of a update, Akra dont make the carbon pipe anymore, and Jardine dont sell to dealers anymore, so they are both out

Micron have coem to the party saying they will make me a custom one to my dimensions though

Still will consider the Leovince if they do a carbon version as well.

Micron are generally pretty quiet, so if you thought that was loud you'll probably hate an Akropovic or Yoshi as they'll be way louder

Must have been something about my system, but not many come close to it!
Either way it looks like ill be getting a System Custom made by Micron to suit my needs

factory shortie anyone
