Full Ti Arata. Made very good power, I'm not convinced the shorty pipes work so well. My Blade could pull a Suzi K5 from any speed

I don't want any noise issues at tracks and besides I hate noisy exhausts.

Any links for that pipe.

Not sure who imports Arata into the UK, or even if that pipe is still available. If you look on the Arata US site, they offer a long and short version although they say the long is sold out. Maybe ebay??
As for noise, you'll have no problem. It sounds lovely but not raucous and the build quality is on a par with Akrapovic

Blatant excuse to post a pic of mine:



'08 Blade (non oil burning!)

R&G tail tidy, clear stomp grips and HRC screen. Thinking about some rearsets and maybe a zorst. Although I think standard exhaust looks and sounds fine.

Any recommendations on rearsets for one of these?

That colour scheme is the best. Its had me drooling over one ever since I saw it at launch and recently revived when one was on the front of performance bikes.

Undecided. It looks like a surprised Zebra to me.

If Scott isn't interested slide me a PM with price etc. I know someone who is looking for one of those, not sure when he's planning on buying but will pass the details for you.
