Yes I was the one that put a bid on the E-bay system for the brand new Leo Vince SBK. road legal exhaust complete with the interlink pipe. Cheapest around I think £ 170.00 + Postage..
Fitting it took about 1/2 an hour due to the fact that I had to drill the 2 No. M8 countersunk hex head bolts out due to the fact that they had both seized rounding the hex off. ( I'll drill and re tap them later). My the original Exhaust is so heavy compared with it's replacement and only 2 bolts holding it all together + a spring. It sounds like a Ducati on song when you give it full throttle but can be quiet when needed. Apart from the weight saving it appears to be a little more responsive throughout the Rev range and the original panniers seem to have adequate space from the can end.
I've yet to try a long run, and see if I can put up with new sound or whether taking the removable baffle out will increase or decrease the sound levels.
Reading previous posts on the Leo Vince SBK can details were very sketchy, but its fits very easily, is very well constructed and would recommend if you're on a budget.

I hope this is of use to others.

Regards Sparky :beer:
 
Nice report thanks... looks a good exhaust. Cant be any worse than a Remus! and if they even acknowledge you then the service is already better.

Let us know what you think after a few weeks as I would be interested.:)
