No biggie for those of you DYIs'. The filter just would clear the Akrapovic header though - i was worried for a moment. Thought I might have to take one pipe loose, good thing the threaded boss for the filter is none too long. Put new crush washer on plug, putting hose clamp on filter and wiring on just for peace of mind.

 

what model akrapovic are you running and hows it sound?
all akra's that i have heard about are bolt on/slip 0n
i have a full akra exhuast-just havent installed it
as my bike is apart at current time

 

It has a pretty deep tone and is relatively quiet just riding around. On highway, wind noise is louder until you twist on it. Then it comes alive and wails pretty good - overall just what I would want. I suppose you have a PC to go along w/ it ? Running the PC stock map for full Akrapovic Evolution exhaust here - about as smooth of throttle response as you could want. Unless you're into the D & D sound, I expect you'll be happy with it.

 

at current no-pc3,i wont use it unless i have the ignition module as well-which
will require me to degree in the cams-and use a o2 sensor to tune,as i do not
have confidence in the local dyno tuners
i am glad you posted about the oil filter-i hate surprises like that(oil filter not
clearing exhuast)[sm=smiley20.gif]
thanks o8
