• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Has anyone put the akrapovic on the 1330 rt? I was wondering how it sounds? I have one on my 2013 rt and it sounds good. I am considering trading for a 2015 and before investing the money I would like some feedback.Thanks in advance.
 
I went to a DEMO- days event and one of the F3 had the Akrapovic, it was a mellow sound, not loud or obnoxious, $900 is kind of steep though. My $.02.

Like it very much with the standard cat converter in place. Note that after installation it takes a couple hundred miles to burn off whatever is inside that needs burned off. It will smell for that length of time. The tech said he let it idle for 15 minutes per Akropovic's instructions and it smoked a little during that time. At the same time, the sound will change and get louder and better -- but not too loud. I am not a loud pipes guy and this is fine. My wife has no complaints from the back seat after some really long days. It was part of my original purchase but they had to order it so I rode without it for about 500 miles. After the tech installed it, both he and the parts mgr said they really couldn't tell the difference. When I first rode off from the dealer, I had to agree. I thought, "What did I do?" But literally, every mile it got a little louder and a little better. By the time I got home after 50 miles, it was great. The sound leveled off at that point but the smell continued to gradually fade away for about 200 miles.
 
i had one on my 13rt and really liked the sound, but like it was said 900 bucks for a muffler is a lil steep for my taste right now
