    Got my new Akra fitted but would like an infill panel for it, preferably a Racefit one but I am not sure if any will fit with the angle the link pipe joins the silencer.

    Has anyone fitted an infill yet with theirs ?

    Looking at the same thing, heard the Leo Vince or Yoshi fits... Only issue is the 3rd mounting bracket.

    The Leo Vince fits with a bit of fiddling around, at least it did on mine back in leo cover.jpg 2011. I have attached some photos I took at the time to show how the brackets fit on an Akra pipe. Like I said, it takes a little bit of head scratching, slight bracket bending and a few banged knuckles but I am sure you can work it out:

    ^^^^^^^^ Sorry the words go mixed up with the photos but I am not sure how to sort it out so will leave as it is.

    It is the new Akra for the 14/15 models that no one has fitted an infill yet, this one, the link pipe angle is different.

    So did the pipe bracket come 'with' the LV infill panel...?

    I am in the same boat. I spoke with Racefit yesterday, the infill panel they sell is designed for their exhausts. So also unsure if it will fit.
    (Two week wait btw)

    Austin racing do an infill panel for £68 delivered. Have a look on their website. I'm in the same predicament, my SC Projects CRT exhaust is on its way and I'm already thinking about where to buy the panel. Austin racing seems to be a good fit for my application.

    personally id leave it off, it looks what it is. something extra bolted on that wasn't intended to be there. but that's just me.
    don't slate me for saying it. quite happy for mine to not have one.

    I'm gonna wait till I've fitted the exhaust to see how it looks. If the gap bothers me I can buy one, else that's money towards short levers which in my case will be more useful

    No, it's just for the 14/15 Eu models.
    You could fit it but you would need the later headers.

    Will 14/15 headers fit straight on my 2013?
    Cheers

    As far as I am aware the headers from the different years are all interchangeable.
    Some have fitted the earlier headers to the 14/15 bikes do I cannot see why you couldn't do the opposite.
    The only thing you would have to do is check that the o2 sensors would reach the new headers. The wires could be extended anyway if need be.

    I'm guessing you need to run a PC and custom map if you put a later header/can on an early bike ?
