Quick little review..
just love the Akrapovic exhausts, lighter, smaller, just look good..

Easy install, BUT..
Got the slip on silencer Ebay reasonable price, but needed a link pipe, either the lower or the high mount, I went for the lower to replace the original look so I can still use 2 pannier bags.
You WILL need the spacer, bolt & nut that comes WITH the genuine Bmw link kit, £170 from memory, I also needed a stainless clamp £30 as missing from silencer.
It seems there are no problems fitting the slip on from the earlier R9T to the 17 plate Urban, just need appropriate link pipe.

IF you fancy the really nice higher option link pipe (£300 approx) after some reasearch it won fit the Urban without removing the rear footrest/subframe, it should however fit the Scrambler as the rear hangers have a curved profile to clear the exhaust. In my opinion the single Akra slip on can would look really good in place of the original twin set up.
Enjoy & hopefull helpful info, see piccys

I’ve never understood why they didn’t put the Akro’s off the Scrambler on the Urban..
 
Looks great. How’s the sound now?
 
If anyone has a standard, undamaged, Urban silencer with heat shield they would sell, please pm me.
 
Not on topic but... are they pivot pegs you have fitted? If so, from what model. Thanks.

Hi, yes they’re pivot pegs, I had them kicking around, bought off here for a 1200gs, they had to be slightly modified to fit with a soft pad on an angle grinder, I fitted them last year, really great feeling under your feet..
well spotted
 
Great, thanks for that. I have some Pivot Pegz and my Urban arrives next week! Will have a go at fitting them.
