I can get you Daz's e-mail address as I wrote him a few times (although it is really the M4 that has my interest...)

I already have plan B, and it's spelled Akrapovic..... Incidentally, does Daz have access to an M4 system or did I read your message incorrectly?

Well I'm going to check. I know he had a few different headers in his collection and he is mates with the guys at ART so I'll see what if any info I can get from him.

Oh don't worry... I'm just a little bit easy to persuade on certain topics... Shiney new bike parts being one of the top...

Only topped by beer and nekkid wimmen...

Again he said he would get back to me and let me know if it was even possible, and with answers to the different questions you all have asked, which I asked him already...I'll give him another call when I get my emblem in the mail to thank him and follow up on the headers. He made it sound like it wasn't a big deal, but we know how that goes...If anyone else is curious call M4 and ask. I'd be curious to see what kind of answer you get. Again I spoke to Brandon.

I may know a guy looking for a full Akra If you switch to an M4 exhaust .

Given my experience above, I suggest you ask specifically for Brandon as the captain said.

Interested as well, I'll look around out there as well to find pics, fitment info (compatibility) I'm wondering if the factory pro needles will be fine or if you need the HRC. I'm going to go back and look at mikstr's link, it may answer my question.

Captian if you pull this off you may be looking at a promotion....

Major Chaos has a nice ring to it, heh?

Haha thanks...but really all I did was ask. Been down this road before with other companies and I'm cautious because quick promises and "yes we can-I have one right in front of me" can quickly turn into "no we don't and haven't for a long time" pretty quickly, so we'll keep our fingers crossed.

Just got off the phone with Brandon...
It sounded to me like there is a chance. He has not had the time to investigate the details or find the old Dyno charts (think we need these Mikstr? )
He said there would definitely be a minimum, probably 10, and that payment up front would be required. I told him there was interest being generated on the forum and that I expected the minimum could be met. No talk of cost, figured it was too early to ask. His Email is M4products@att.net. He asked for a link to the forum so I will send him that.
My guess is he needs to know if this is real and if he can really count on 10+ systems. Don't think I would suggest a lot of phone calls, but I bet a bunch of emails expressing interest would be helpful.

Tnx Micky, im glad to be back, this thing could have ended much worse for me....
I can stand up now and even walk a bit, so why should i give up riding my VTR? All it needed are some new parts and some love....

Aye aye Cap't.
Here is the email i just got back from Brandon:

Steve,
Hey man I looked at the forum, seems to be a Interest. I will pass this info on to the boss man and go from their. An update, we found the Fixtures , next step is going to be for us and to see what its going to take to build ten of them. I will do what we can to keep then cost friendly for an discontinued item , but I wont promise you anything, because like it said in the forum i don't want be the one getting people hopes up. Its going to be a bit expensive because the system is not in our data base on our new benders computer, so i will have to see if they want to run them or not. Bare with me. I will do what I can, but again no promises.

Brandon

We promoted him to General some months ago but after folks started to refer to him as "Chaos in General" it was abandoned.

Sorry guys, just got the following email:

Steve,
Just want you to know I appreciate you allowing me the time needed to see about getting this project of the ground, but it looks like its not going to happen. After talking to the production manager and he's telling me that for us to do that, we would have to start from the ground up and he's not willing to do that. So again thank you , but I'm sorry to tell you that its a no go on the re-run of full systems.

Good question. I followed up but that doesn't look to good either:

Steve
Well that was the biggest problem, since we got new benders and computers, the CAD file is non-existence , that's what I mean by having to start from the ground up, But I'll see if their is any info I can offer you .
