One of the nicest makeovers i've seen in ages.

Job well done!

Would love a run down on everything you've done

I'm really enjoying the Akrapovic so far. As other have mentioned, it's certainly has the unique factor, and I doubt I'll see another one in my neck of the woods.

My bike does seem to pull harder with the Akra than it did with the V&H Side Shots, but I haven't had a chance to properly tune the Akra yet, so I'm guessing there's more there. I should be getting it tuned up this week sometime.

Volume wise, to my ears at idle they have a deeper tone than the V&H's, and I actually think the V&H are louder. When you get into it, I would say the Akra is a bit louder than the Side Shots. I find it's pretty easy to be quiet when you need to be.

The nacelle came from Ebay (username:customcyclesltd) - It wasn't an exact fit, so my cousin and had to modify it a bit.

I would have went with a stock freight train nacelle, but with my rake the headlight would have been pointed up to much. The one I picked up off Ebay was stretched to compensate for the rake.
