howlinhoss Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Just saw this posted on LVs Facebook page and thought I would share. Wonder how it compares to the Akra in price and performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator Guru Posted July 14, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted July 14, 2014 Good find ! Not a fan of the shoe box design. It is still a drawing. I wonder how it looks for real on a bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwistedTorque Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Looks ok. Still like the akro a bit more but will have to see how it looks on the bike first before a final judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotaryfz07 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I like it. I had a LV on my Honda and loved it. I might just pick this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howlinhoss Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 Just realized I did not embed the photos properly. I will tonight in case anyone is having issues viewing. I think the exhaust looks great. Nice to have some options to choose from. Also knowing LV they will be priced aggressively compared to Akra.

Global Moderator mjh937 Posted July 14, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted July 14, 2014 jollyj, There is a "how to" near the top of the Gerneral Discussions page that tells how to add photos and videos. Cruizin wrote a lot better tutorial there than I could. Let one of the moderators know if you are still having problems and we can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reaper308 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I like the way it looks and keeps the tip of the pipe down exhaust going straight out the side versus up at and angle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest montana07 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I don't. I'd probably just start looking up dealers in the US that sell the FZ-09 exhaust and give them a call. Maybe they have the FZ-07 exhaust, maybe not, buy I'd bet they can order it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanMug Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 ok thanks Montana07. Seems like it will be an exciting fall , as the aftermarket in the USA starts offering more and more stuff for the FZ7. I hope YamaHA can keep new bikes in the showrooms. Everybody needs a 7 in their garage! RRokay Raggie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotaryfz07 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I like the LV. It retains the sharp angled design of the bike. Kind of like a Japanese anime robot. Sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator Guru Posted July 21, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted July 21, 2014 I definitely prefer the Akra over this mailbox design. But the sound will tell which one is best. And I don't really like the name either. Leo Vince, sounds like that guy that never wins an Oscar, what's his name again? The name Akrapovič on the other hand sounds like you can fire it at someone.

howlinhoss Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 Love the sound, very aggressive. Arrow, Akra, and M4 need to finish their exhausts. I hope all of them follow the shorty style exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope all of them follow the shorty style exhaust. Arrow and Akra have already finished their exhausts, at least for the European market. Akrapovic is a short style, and probably the sexiest looking exhaust on the market. Arrow is a long, and I'm not a big fan, but people have left the mid section out to do a short install and it looks really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
