I traded my XR for the RR last year, and although I had owned sports bikes before I was concerned that I?d be uncomfortable on the RR after enjoying the room of a sports adventure bike. Within a couple of weeks I had gotten used to the riding position of the RR and I actually find it...

Thanks mate, will take a look.

Thanks for the replies guys. The exhaust fits straight on but the foot peg is integrated within the hanger so I either remove the peg from the hanger (which makes the hanger look even worse) or I buy a new hanger and completely remove the existing hangers (and foot pegs). At the moment I?ve kept...

Hello all, I?ve just fitted an Akrapovic Moto GP slip-on to my 2017 RR. Very pleased with the exhaust but my issue is the hanger. I have a pillion seat with foot pegs and I?m looking to remove the foot pegs and get a seat cowl, but I will need to replace the right foot peg with a hanger for the...

I didn't see SC project at the show, but performance-parts offered me the Akra Moto GP slip-on for ?540 - it retails at ?639.

Welcome Dave. I've just collected my grey/ black S1000RR and it really is a fantastic bike. I bought an XR 18months ago to keep the wife happy, but she went on the bike less than a handful of times so I thought I'd get the bike that I actually wanted! I don't think you will regret your decision.

Thanks mate. Three more sleeps!! Thanks for letting me know the price for the Akra as well. I've had Akra exhausts on my last few bikes, and I've always been really impressed with the quality. I'm hoping to pick up a deal on the Akra (or SC) at the bike show in a few weeks time.

What did you pay for the Akra, Boydy? I'm picking my '17 RR up on Monday, and weighing up the Akra and SC exhausts.

For anyone interested, I'm selling an almost brand new S1000XR HP seat (bought two months ago, and has less than 500miles use). I've also advertised it on the XR forum, but I also know that a few on here also have XRs (very lucky to have both!!) I'd like ?220 (bought for ?339). Postage would...

I ordered the hp rearsets today, hopefully they will arrive in time to be fitted before I collect the bike. I've also ordered evotech radiator / oil guards, crash protection, and paddock stand bobbins. I like the look of the Akra Moto GP slip-on, but I've already spent close to ?1000 on bits...

Thanks Bertie. I'm really looking forward to it. I also plan to fit rearsets over the next couple of months. Have you changed the exhaust? If so, what for? Cheers, Ross

Thanks H! I'm 6'3 so good to hear that your comfortable at 6'6! Like you I'm already spending more than I should but I can't help myself :) rearsets and a slip-on are next on my wish list. Hopefully Father Christmas is feeling generous this year!

Hello mate, Yes, I'm interested in signing up but I don't have PayPal. What other options do you have in mind? Cheers, Ross

Thanks Mac - good advice. Cheers, Ross

Thanks Mac. I have just ordered some parts from Evotech - tail tidy, oil and radiator guards, crash bobbins, paddock stand bobbins. Now looking at slip-on exhausts (SC project and Akra GP). Any suggestions for good double bubble screens?

Thanks Oli. I'm currently online buying parts! Do you know if I can sign up as a premier member without paypal? i.e. is that the only payment option? Cheers, Ross

Finally pulled the trigger on the S1000RR Sport today! Got a really good deal from the local dealer, I've gone for the black/grey with performance pack and alarm. Just waiting to confirm a date for collection - I hope we have some sunny winter days ahead!

Thanks mate. I'll take a look.

I hadn't considered the comfort seat. Does it come in black? I've seen the black/red/white combo, but I'm not sure if it will suit the black/grey bike.

Very true. I like the look of the HP rearsets, but I'll look around to see what's on the market.
