Exhausts and Engine » LeoVince end can

Just fitted a Leo Vince Stainless/Carbon end can on my 17 RS. Very nicely made and fits well. This is definitely louder the the oe can, which supprised me, as it has a cone baffle in the link pipe too. Haven't ridden far yet, so not noticed any difference in engine characteristics. Definitely see more of the back wheel.
Also fitted head protectors too.

Looks good. Is it louder than you would have liked - or louder in a good way?

On start up it's louder than I would like. But when you are on the throttle under load it sounds great 😀 It does come with Euro compliance obviously, so who cares.
When I put Akro's on my Z1000sx I was slightly disappointed how quiet they were. So slightly surprised about this later can being louder.,

Thanks for posting the pic. I had a Leo on my '12 GS and was very happy with it. Clearance okay with OE saddlebags?

I don't have panniers, but I am led to believe clearance should be ok

I've been looking at this can (the carbon version) for my MY2018 RS..
Leo Vince list two different cans one euro 3 and one euro 4 compliant... which one did you go with?

Not sure ? I just asked contacted LV and asked for the can suitable for a 2017 RS. Its definately different to a 15-16 model. My one has a non removable baffle.

Euro 4 complaint

One more question on the LV can. Does installing it (I am assuming here it is smaller than the OEM), now allow for rear tire changes without removing the Exhaust silencer? Is there a bigger gap between the can and the tire wall with the LV? OEM is about a 1cm clearance between tire and can wall at its closest point. That was a side benefit of replacing the can on my K1300S back in the day, just one less thing to deal with on routine maintenance.

Hi
no the end can still has to come off as the rear caliper will catch the rim of the wheel , i have same set up and just replaced tyres ,not quite enough clearance ,
but defo sounds and looks better , but the link pipe i would coat with a clear engine lacquer as it looks rusty after a few spells out in the rain
hope this helps

Can any of our Euro brethren confirm that the fitment for the R1200RS and R1250RS are the same? Or failing that, can you confirm that the part number for the OE silencer is the same 1200 vs 1250? Looking to get the Leo for my '20 1250, but that's way ahead of the curve in the USA.

I have just finally pulled the pin, and ordered a full carbon Leo Vince end can for my stealth black 2017 (MY18) 1200RS
hopfully I should get it by the weekend.. half the price of the 'Akro-Prop'... and nicer looking heatshield... will post up pics when it gets here...

Treachery:-
I could do some measurements when it arrives for you.. to see if it will fit... but i suspect Leo Vince will do one specifically for your 1250, i have ordered the Euro4 compliant pipe... as i dont really want to remove the baffle anyway.. also
might get the link pipe ceramic coated, as some have said it is prone to rust, should be Stainless Steel really...

more soon
