I said the same thing but the difference it made for me and the little woman was worth every penny. We can actually ride together now and enjoy it rather than constantly readjusting. She always tells me how nice the seat is so for her to compliment something i buy for the bike instead of asking why i need that and how much was it says volumes :lol:.

Heard a Youtube clip of the Leo Vince on a GSX650F.... damn, that's nice. I think it sounds better than the Scorpion CF.

Does that seat keep a passenger from crowding your space every time you stop? I love riding solo on this bike, but with a babe on the back, it just gets incredibly uncomfortable on the wrists & crotch... Is there anything that will help this?


I have a pair of Stomp grips on either side of my tank which you grip wth your knees and they work really well.


Nice can Judd, how did you find the build quality, I quite like the look of the GP style can that leo vince do.

They build quality is second to none. The welds are perfect and for me i think it's one of the nicest mufflers i have ever seen in person.

Very nice looking muff (ler)

I'm still deciding if I want to change mine.

Might be able to get a discount cause I can by 2 at the same time

I really want that seat and back rest , but damn it's pricey.


Sargeant is having an economic stimulus sale- picked up a low version for $370 plus shipping

The fact that their "low" version actually sits you higher than the stock seat, pretty much kills it for me. My analytical part of my brain will not allow that purchase to pass Go, collect $200, and continue around the board staying at fine hotels. I just can't do it, Captain.

I think a new can is going to be on my bike soon. For me right now im thinking either Two Brothers or the Leo Vince. For Carbon I think they are both about the same in price.

Hi all,

Just joined this forum and waiting for my newly ordered Leo Vince EvoII Carbon pipe... can't wait, it'll look great on my black K8... and we all know black is the faster one :wink: :mrgreen:

Now, I was wondering if there are any issues when replacing the stock exhaust with the Leo Vince? Anything to remember or did you guys experience any problems? Guess it's not necessary to replace the airfilter (e.g. with a K&N) or install a PowerCommander?

Hope you can help - thanks in advance :)

Kind regards,
Kasper

Kasper,
I installed the same pipe last year.
You'll hear back fire before your bike stops. Some people like it some don't. The thing is, it can damage the insulation inside
the pipe. In order to fix this, yoou need to do PAIR mod. It's easy to do. My bike is 2009 and I didn't need to adjust the TPS. I don't know about 2008 models. (My buddy has 2008 model and 2Bros pipe. We had to adjust TPS on his bike.)

Yes it does. If you look closely at the pics you can see it. Came already installed with it.


Just got mine too - love it already :-)
The stop for the center stand? Is that the metal thing with a hole in it welded on to the connector pipe? If so, do I have to put the rubber plug in that hole (God, that sounds wrong for so many reasons :-) ) as the manual describes?

Thanks in advance!
