Thanks chaps, been round the block literally today on it, like it so far, but what is it with these side stands, very rickety:thumbdown

Greetings and welcome to the forum
Side stands have been changed by many to either the american one or a blade one. Mine was ok for the 4 years I had it, just be careful when you park up.

Stumpy66 · Oct 26, 2015

I will do, had a look round it I think it has fell over at some stage, a few scuffs but not enough for full road rash I don't think,

Welcome about Stumpy.....it's always good to have another Nottm lad on here

Welcome, the sidestands are notorious but have sent you a pm as I bought a blade stand for mine but when I picked it up it already had one

welcome to forum pal, :thumbup

welcome from derby m8! don't know what akra's are like with the baffles out but my mivv's were ****, hunted on tickover and bottom end was fluffy, took it to griffs over at tamworth but he could'nt make it run better with the baffles out so i had to put them back in. dissapointed cos they sound like standard cans and i could have saved myself Â£500!,
i will have a go at drilling some holes in the baffles to see if i can improve the sound and retain some back pressure.

It sounds great, don't know about bottom end properly as only done about 10 mile on it, it seems to pick up well though. I Put the baffles in the akras, didn't like it:thumbdown
