Well done mate, thats come together beautifully :D Its a credit to your hard work.

Nice discreet colour scheme too (i.e. not bright orange!! :wink: )

Enjoy Rockingham. I've done it 3 times on two different TRX's and its a great smooth TRX-friendly track (national is better than international though)

RS fabrications headers, are they local to you, did they keep a jig for making more?

Yep same RS Fabrications - no jig, they do loads of one off fabrications, I left them the bike with the modified seat /frame, and I gave them the Akra can, and they had another Co do the bends (from their measurments) then they welded it all together.

Is it stainless?
What diameter are the headers i.d, It looks tapered from what I can see?

Exhaust looks great, how much did the one off fabrication cost. I am talking to a firm who are quoting £500 for an complete Akra copy in stainless, I want an 2-1-2 however as I want to retain the stubbie silencers am awaiting reply
