Hey folks,
I am going to be contacting a regional rep for Akra about a potential for a group buy. I met him at PPIHC, and he was very interested in getting the shop I work at set up as a dealer. It would be helpful if I had some idea of folks who would be strongly interested in the purchase of a pipe. I would also consider purchases for other bikes. I will contact him next week, so give me a shout. I want you to know, I make no guarantees with how this will turn out. I am hoping well.

Ok. You have 20+ people interested. It's time to reveal the price before we start changing our minds

What exactly is needed to install this slip on-? Is there cutting involved-?
Also anyone with a aprox price, retail is OK, I just am wondering if this is possible for me.
Thanks in advance.

Well, I have not been able to reach Mike at all. With the amount of interest that has occurred, I feel like it would be rude of me to delay this any further. Tabasco is a Akra dealer and will step in with pricing rather soon, as he must have a direct line to the red phone. I am sorry for any delay, but hopefully we can all find some happiness in the sound of our new exhaust.

It is the season for politics and this Group Buy makes that very obvious.

autoteach, thank you very much for all the time and work you offered. Hopefully you get a free muffler.

No need for political jabs or innuendos... AutoTeach and I have been talking the whole time. He and I are on the same page, and have been in contact concerning this topic from the beginning. ::008::

Here is the Group Buy info.. This is the for the Akrapovic exhaust muffler for the XT1200Z ... We MUST have 10 buyers to get this special price. The GB special price is $699.00 free ship lower 48. If we get 20 or more buyers you will save more. Alrapovic does not like GB's. They have very strict 'rules' with this type of stuff. These are there rules, not mine. We will do this like other GB's. You will have to pay for the 'part' to have your name on the list of buyers. If you have any questions feel free to let me know.. Ill be happy to help. Thanks ~ Jaxon
