£230 for the alloy and err about £270 (I think) for the carbon. Do a high level too and also a race system but the one I'm getting has the removable baffle anyway! Have a look at www.tranam.co.uk for a link to the Leovince website just make sure to select english! :P

Default Now its here!!!!

Picked it up saturday and fitted it myself which i'm dead chuffed with cos i've never fitted one before!! Wasn't all that difficult, apart from having to hacksaw through the old one! The LeoVince exhaust fits lovely and sounds great even with the baffle in! Yet to take it out as the srew is chamfered so you can't undo it! possibly something to do with regulations or something? They supply a blanking screw and instructions for removal so its gotta come out somehow! As for riding I haven't taken it out very far only about 10 mile round trip to my girlfriends house last night but I think it does feel a tad smoother than before but will have to go for a decent ride to see.

P.S Anyone who's local is more than welcome to have a listen if you are interested as I'm quite chuffed with it!

Hmmm, when you say chamfered, what exactly does it look like?

Its got a round screw head as normal but its got two small "blocks" at the edges instead of a slot. A flat head screw driver fits between these but will only do em up as they're sloped on one side, (the sides that you would use to ubndo them). Though I could possibly grind the slope down with a Dremel in order to give it a flat face or cut it off as there is a spare that shoud fit.

Oo, er - sounds like tamper-proof screws to me.

Get your junior hacksaw out and saw a slot in the top to use a flathead screwdriver.

Yeah I'm very happy with it. Never heard of them until I went over to see my mate and he told me about them. I've gotta ride it some more to see really how it feels but my first impression was alot smoother and a lovely sound!
