Hi all,

Just wandered if anyone knew any places where I could get the below parts cheap / for a decent price. Possibly looking to buy them over the next few months, also attending the NEC bike show on the last day (possibility of some bargains>).

Arrow Full Exhaust System - Looking for something that both looks and sounds decent to replace my stock exhaust system. Have seen prices of around £800 for Arrow systems, also how many hours labour is it likely to take to fit? (Would anyone just recommend an end can?
Arrow Power Commander - Seen prices around £250-£300
Arrow Brake Discs all round - 2 front and 1 for the rear - looking for cheapish discs but of good quality - ideally wavey looking (when at bike show last year they had some cheap, around £150 for 2 front discs)
Arrow HRC Quick Action Throttle Kit
Arrow Rear Hugger - Ideally black and extended to help keep dirt off the rear shock

Arrow Buy the can bundled with the exhaust system. They willl work better together than Arrow headers with an akra can for example. 2 hours labour or so. +1 hour if you don't remove the plastics for them.

Arrow Sounds about right if you're buying from the UK. May be worth looking at US ones. Wink

Arrow Don't skimp on brake disks. If you can't afford to get top quality waveys just get top quality normal disks. Shite disks = shite braking. I would say just get OE disks for the road, or ABE.

Arrow Bottom two are good mods. Get the throttle kit from Honda, get something like an Ermax hugger direct from them.

Had the same bike.

Power commander, Arrow etc. sounds and performs like a bike should!

Stick with Arrow and you won't be disappointed!

Make sure you ge the exhaust, power commander + mapping all at once. You'll also need a new air filter to get the best from it (although shouldn't be much more).

enjoy! Thumbs Up

Thanks for replies so far!

Would you suggest a K & N air filter? Also do you think it might be worth looking at replacing the plugs?

if the plugs are the same as in my rr3 there gonna set you back around £60-£70 but on a plus side the manual states they are good for 32,000 miles.

I got a Yoshi RS-5 on Mine, i think it sounds ace, I only went for the end can as I personally dont think I'd get the extra power it offers out of the bike in normal road riding, so I settled for a nice sound.

Powerbronze hugger works well, keeps my shock very clean.

Power commander price sounds about right, I got mine already part of the bike so cant comment on price.

I have heard that the K&N Offers no real benefit over the stock filter other than having a longer life.

Hope thats some help to you.

So after seeing a nice set of Wolf Leathers from my local bike garage i've decided just to get a Scorpion end can, as opposed to a full system.

My local garage also advised me the distributor for scorpion has gone bust or something meaning they can't order me one in until they have a new one?

Does anyone know where i could get a can from? I've attached a picture of the can i'm after, saw it fitted o the 1000rr at last years NEC.
