Hi DIxy, I�m literally about to order a Leo Vince can. Are you pleased with it? Do you ride with or without the baffles?

hi Dave
depends how load you like your bike to sound its a bit loud for touring but good for short blasts , i would recommend the pipe fits nice and easy but would coat the link pipe with a clear engine lacquer when new to keep it shinny mine went a rusty colour after a few times out in the rain it did clean up after using harpic but not as good when new, dont know what the akro are like, but £600 plus for that ??

I looked at the Akro, couldn�t stretch that far for a can.
Going to place the order for the Leo Vince.
I�m also thinking about a Powerbronze rear hugger too.
Thanks for your replies.

Go for a mudsling instead of the hugger.
