    Akrapovic full length titanium.

    Tools:
    Rivet gun
    5mm Rivets
    5mm Drill bit
    Hammer
    Very small phillips


    Begin by removing it (no sh*t)

    nice one woody.
    good little write up.

    ps you did buy stainless rivets didnt you? normal ally ones will look minging after a bit of weather gets to them. especially as you ride all year round.
