6:00 Audio is Excellent!! Video is Excellent too!!

Scalpel is an apt description. I agree on the screen. I put a V4 Grand Tour screen on my ‘22 PP and love it. Like to hear more of your thoughts on the Ohlins compared to Skyhook? Is one better?

[@xodas.]

@@sgtfixer yeah I’ll answer that in a video - the ohlins are stiffer, but seem more responsive in the moment.

@@xodas. cool. Makes sense given its sporty attitude. It’s a beast and I’m addicted to riding it😂. Can’t wait to see the video.

Your "crap audio" was alright. The stock screen is basically worthless outside of getting lots of noise and buffeting. I have a large calsci screen and a little cnc racing carbon screen that isn't as loud as stock (not a fan of quality of the cnc one, and i dont like getting insects all over my visor with it). It was surprising how this tipped in better than my tuono v4 before that. Too bad it doesn't sound or deliver power or shift like the aprilia, although it is worlds more comfortable, but also not as exciting to ride. Have you removed the little pieces that some people call db killers from the akra? Watch out for potholes, I bent my front wheel last year 😂 and somehow i broke the electronic suspension when one of the fork connectors was undone, maybe it needs to be unplugged or the battery needs to be disconnected first, need to diagnose because the bike is stuck in the hardest damping setting which doesn't feel great on the highway, at least the preload adjustment works. You can also retrofit the little flaps for airflow reduction (i think it's something like $50-70 in parts) from the newer multis.
