Title: Mivv exhaust
Post by: jackie_black on December 12, 2013, 21:23:13

Does anyone know if this exhaust will fit my glee http://www.mivv.it/en/prodotti_apri.asp?cl=1&cs=1079&codice_moto=199&codice_marca=7 with the centre stand fitted. I tried searching but can't find it.

It says it's a slip on, that normally means it's just an end can replacement so there shouldn't be anything near your centre stand that's changing. You might want to confirm if it's just an end can. Google translate to Italian and email their support or find an UK distributor and call/email.

I thought that, then this added confusion http://www.mivv.it/risorse/7/199/1079/S038_SPEED_EDGE_SCHEMATIC.pdf

I think it's the Italians that are confused about what they are trying to sell you :grin:

Looks like a three quarter system from those drawings then. You only keep your header pipes. It will be difficult to tell if the centre stand will work unless the manufacturer knows or unless someone with such an exhaust has a centre stand or tried it and failed can tell you.

Have you considered a GPR exhaust? They are very well made and you can use a centre stand with them. Just find some pics of Locky's bike if you want to see what they look like (search in the Exhausts section.) They sound glorious too, I bought myself one to change my Scorpion can out and I'm very impressed with the workmanship.

I've seen the GPR stuff, I just fancied being different. :shrug:
