Akrapovic's Evolution Line for the supercharged Ninja H2 runs where the standard shock mount sits, and the only way to fit the system is to relocate that mount. Very few exhausts in any catalogue ask that much of a motorcycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelocates the shock absorber mount, not the silencer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMandatory for the Evolution Line (Carbon) S-K10E3-HX2C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor the 2017 model year Ninja H2 and H2R\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThat Evolution Line is not in the current price list\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot needed for any other Akrapovic system on this machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAn Exhaust That Moves the Suspension\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost complete systems work around the chassis. This one does not: the Evolution Line's routing on the H2 occupies space the shock mount was using, and Akrapovic supplies a bracket that puts the mount somewhere else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is an unusually deep intervention, and it is a fair measure of how tightly packed a supercharged 998 cc Kawasaki is. It also means the bracket is not optional in any sense — without it the system does not go on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCheck the System Number First\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAkrapovic names S-K10E3-HX2C, and that Evolution Line does not appear in the price list this shop buys from. As with several accessories in this range, the description is written against the full historical catalogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore ordering, confirm with the distributor which Akrapovic system is on or going onto the motorcycle and whether this bracket belongs to it. On a part that alters suspension mounting, assuming is not an option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOne Model Year\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAkrapovic's own note is specific: the bracket is mandatory for fitting that system on 2017 model year machines. The fitment data runs to 2020, and the description names 2017.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere the manufacturer's text and its fitment table differ, the safe reading is the narrower one. Ask before ordering for a 2018 or later H2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe H2 and the H2R\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe road-legal H2 and the track-only H2R share the supercharged engine and the chassis architecture. Akrapovic lists the bracket for both, which follows from the shared subframe and shock mounting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSuspension Hardware Deserves a Workshop\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA shock absorber mount carries the full load of the rear suspension. This is not a part to fit by eye or to guess a torque figure on, and it is worth having done by someone who will check the setting afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Supercharging Costs in Space\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe H2 carries a supercharger, its intake plenum and the ducting between them in a chassis sized for a litre superbike. Everything else has to move over, and the exhaust routing on a full system ends up in places a naturally aspirated bike would never need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA bracket that relocates a suspension mount is the visible end of that problem, and it is the reason this part exists at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNot a Performance Part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bracket adds nothing on its own. It exists so that a system that does add something can physically be installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot applicable. A bracket carries no emissions or noise approval, and the Evolution Line it serves is a competition system in any case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: P-X188\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEAN: 3831113545426\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBikes covered: Kawasaki Ninja H2 and H2R, 2017 model year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: shock absorber bracket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStatus: mandatory for the Evolution Line (Carbon) S-K10E3-HX2C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote: that system is not in the current price list\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproval: none applies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Akrapovic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53631117426954,"sku":"P-X188","price":39.75,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/01_1a78805d-bf33-4583-aba8-4b21cb3b6458.png?v=1788603687","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-ht\/products\/akrapovic-shock-absorber-bracket-kawasaki-ninja-h2-p-x188","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
