I never thought I'd see a Blackwidow on a Weeksy bike, fallen on hard times?

Black widow and Lextek are taking load of sales off Akrapovic,who are close to pricing themselves out of many people's market.

I was very surprised at the fit and quality of my Lextek headers. £275 as opposed to £600 +

Yup, S21s for me... I'll be ordering something for the ZX6R as well, just debating what to order, likely to be a rear Dunlop 213GP Pro.

I've got Black Widow front pipes on my FZR400RR, apparently it's a copy of the YEC pipe, it fits and it gives a top end power increase, the minimal mid range is now non existent, but it is a race pipe with no EXUP.

Fair enough boys. I'm struggling to justify any at the moment as it will potentially eat into 'morzine' funds for next July. But who has any idea if that will be viable or not.
