Be brave, its easier than you think just take your time and don't panic cos you do have to disassemble a lot of the bike to do it! The trickiest bit i'd say is removing the original pipes it a chinese puzzle getting them out & not damaging the rads. You can download the akrapovic pdf's from their website they have very clear pics. The pcv is a piece of piss to fit just check that theres 2 posi taps cos in my box there was only 1. If your fairly competent with spanners give yourself a full day, you can't beat the i did that feeling when you're finished ;D

Agree with this, although I can only remember 1 positap. Why did you need two?

yep only 1 positap required
the only issue for the whole job is this little ******

its little bracket that connects the headers to the block

Thanks for all the info I have looked at all the fitting instructions & yes the pcv fitting looks easy. But the other still freaks me out a bit.anyway I've been given Austin racings number to ring & speak to a very nice chap who going to fit all for a very good price £75.i wonder if I can watch&make tea?

Yes bob your right that is the most awkward part, i had a racefit system made then removed it why the bike went for service, the exhaust has never been used and is just sat in the garage.

Ive also got a brand now PCV sat in the garage, just never got the time to fit things.


Will have to decide if to fit it or sell it and save for a HP4

As for the posh tap you can just piggy back and solder the wires

If i lived closer i would do it for you

;D

I had two one for the throttle position sensor and another for the gear sensor!! But there was only one in the box annoyingly!!
