drphil Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Finally got my new Akrapovic for mye 2015 vfr800f.. I am embarrassed to say that i actually am struggling to put it on my bike. The diameter on my stock is 55mm and the akra is 48mm Is this correct?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinigami Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Does your bike have an OEM sleeve gasket? If so, remove it. You definitely seem to have the correct pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer fink Posted June 17, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted June 17, 2016 What gasket? Never noticed one in mine. Had better look when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtwindr Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 it's an alloy gasket, mine stayed on the front pipe and to all intents looked like part of the pipe until I started prodding at it with a screwdriver and it started to break up. For other people they have stayed in the end can when it's been removed so I guess that's where yours is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
