| Re: Fireblade 08 - Aftermarket Exhaust Pilotguy027, I have posted a picture on my gallery of my Repsol RR8.
Paint job came though dealer at £850, would have cost £1150 had I sent it myself.

I am a total spanner dunce. It wasn't the dealer that told me this, it was one of the HM Plant techs. HM Plant is a well known Honda racing team in the Uk, so I suppose I was inclined to believe what he was telling me. |

Cheers | They are made in Italy and are very good quality if you are to believe what my mate has to say about them ( he has used their exhausts on previous bikes )
They appear to be the cannister and a joining pipe from what i can see on their site.
There is also another pipe available from them on the sites main page.
They have a dyno graph on their site and a short video of the RR8 on the dyno with one fitted

If you do want me to try and grab one, let me know. I'll gladly check and pick one up for you mate iof they still have them. |

| Re: Fireblade 08 - Aftermarket Exhaust Hi Fireblade RR8
How is the Yoshi mate , I am having mine fitted tomorrow full carbon race system not just slip on , is that what you got with the nice heat shield ?
Cant wait to hear this beast with the can fitted when you say it wakes the dead  , do you think it needs the power comm 3 fitted as well as I aint ordered one either ?
Thanks Karl |

| Re: Fireblade 08 - Aftermarket Exhaust Yeah I do mate, I bought the slip on as getting the repsol paint job and tail tidy etc ate me budget. Sounds nice at revs, but I do think it would benefit from a power commander.....more so if your getting a full system. Came with a baffle you can fit......Still in the box.
Got my can from the USA as couldn't find anything here. |

Rich, you ever used the apriliaforum ? I used it a lot when I had my Tuono, and still go there to keep in touch with some good guys.
Getting a large amount of flaming now about how crap/soulless/common my bike is. Nobody gives them a second look apparently !
Major sense of humour transpalnt over there.
Think I may get that account deleted. |

Nice one mate with the paint job , i just got rid of my 07 repsol blade for the winning red 08 and it feels awesome compared to 07.
My yoshi was from the states and it looks lovely came last week , how much was the repsol paint job by the way and who did it ?
You got any pics of the paint job mate , i am only in Congleton not far from you i think.  |

There are some good guys there that I still talk to and they all love the blade! The R1 forum is worse still i sold my 07 r1 and got the blade and i am now cursed by them (sad bunch of Muppet's). Cheers matey  As for the looks my blade gets far more looks and positive comments than my R1 or Aprilia did so thats bull. |
