Akrapovic for me  :grin:  Cost about £550 retail, if your lucky you could pick some up on ebay for less.

I went with the Beowulfs for nearly half that price.

Very happy with them too!

Leo vince now wet and dry rubbed doen, finish is awful and they don't cover it in the warranty, comes under weather

Back on the bike, they come with a little disc with 5 holes in, sounds much nicer

Been out riding today until it rained : (

Video to come

I had a set of Leos on my old Aprilia Pegaso Strada - the finish wasn't good and they turned to dust within a year - totally crap. I wouldn't buy them again

The dics makes them not so offensive and gives that V twin rumble I can only say is similar to the Honda SP1

I quite like them, I found that the throttle is more smooth throughout

They do make a difference

Why is the finish so bad on these things, salt just eats it

Akrapovic for me, and the best bit was they were £0.00...... After my bike took a tumble due to a blind bimbo in a car took me off...." I didn't see you "  :sarc:
They were cheaper to replace than O/E cans so I was happy and the insurance was as well.
The cans sound great without baffles but not annoyingly loud. I love the cans buy I'm not sure I'd pay the £650 I got quoted if it was my hard earned.

The after market cans don't have a heat shield. Has anyone found any problems with panniers close to the exhuast?

Cheers

One day, someone showed me a glass of water that was half full.  And he said, "Is it half full or half empty?"  So I drank the water.  No more problem.

Hard luggage on racks ie Givi/Suzuki/Kappa etc will be fine

Soft luggage will be a problem unless they are well protected :cell:

Cheers. I thought they should be fine. I'am looking at getting some scorpians.
