Had a quick look with the search function but didn't see anything....
got bumped by a white van man on my way to work today ![]() my akrapovic can is now dented, luckily the only damage - can these be repaired or do i have to shell out for a new can? the damage is on the sleeve, perhaps resleeving? i thought about pulling the dent too but not sure if that will give nice results, never seen it done before. |

i got it from performance parts - apparently the official importer for akrapovic to the UK. funnily another shop seemed to have no idea of the existence of any such repack/resleeve kit (i have it in my hands now!).
i did look on ebay but couldn't be sure any of the cans would fit, though it looks like most would (fairly standard looking fitting). i probably should have waited and found one on ebay, but mine will be as good as new after this - i've got everything bar the ends in this kit, i think! oh btw it's road legal - does that make a difference? i do want to *keep* it road legal so that ruled out all the race cans i saw... i was sorely tempted by shelling out a smidge over £400 for the new shape can though and fitting that ![]() |
