Reborn black sapphire fro...

My red 2015 was a great looking bike. And had mods like a power commander 5, auto tune, gilles tooling rear sets, gilles tooling lever guards adjustable levers, Trex frame sliders and motor protectors, arrow full competition evo exhaust, gloss carbon tail strada, tail strada extension, rear hugger, front fender, front fascia, chain guard, matte carbon tank cover and side tank fairings and much more. Then I decided to paint the side fairings, radiator covers, lower belly fairings, and fascia side pieces bmw black sapphire metallic, replaced the exhaust with a 2018 Akra full exhaust plus akra 2018 gp can. Added the evotech exhaust hanger kit with left side passenger bracket block off plate. And had to get the 2018 rubber grommet and sleeve to mount exhaust that came stock on the 2017-18 models in the right passenger brackets. Powder coated the wheels cherry illusion, swapped out the gilles adjustable levers for ASV levers, swapped out the wunderlich sport screen with mvr touring screen. Added the rapid bike + my tuning , added servo buddy , did the air box block off plate kit since rapid bike my tuning was installed. Also did a 520 front and rear red sprocket conversion (went down 2 teeth but should have went up in my opinion) with a 520 3D gold chain. Also piece of advice. If anyone decides on adding a 2017-18 akra full system because you want the 2017-18 gp can like I added. Dont order the SKR full akra system if you are going to be installing the rapid bike. The rapid bike comes with a wide band lamba bosche O2 sensor that needs to be installed into the bung on the mid pipe which the SKR akra system doesnt come with. Otherwise you would have to buy a bung and have it welded in like I had done on my akra system. The S1000RR full system has the bung welded in. Also Im sure some of you may ask how would the 2017-18 system fit if the part numbers are different. The 2014-2018 akra headers and mid pipe are exactly the same except that for some reason the 2014-16 headers and midpipe have different part numbers from the 2017-18 headers and midpipe if you were ordering those ala cart. But the link pipes have different part numbers on the 2014-16's from the 2017-18's because if you notice the 2017-18's have 2 pipes coming out of the link pipe and going into the exhaust can. Which is why a 2014-16 model can not use the 2017-18 gp can unless you purchase the full akra 2017-18 SKR system. But remember if you will be using a rapid bike system or any other fuel system which included a lamba bosche wide band O2 sensor then you must order the 2017-18 akra S1000RR full system because it already comes with a bung in the mid pipe. Otherwise you will have to weld one in or have someone do it. Cost me $12 for the bung and $30 to have it welded in.
