Ok, today I got myself a deal that could not be refused! A set of Leo Vince cans, with a set of OEM headers (bonus) for a price that was about half what a new pair of Leo's cost by themselves! Both the headers and the Leo's are in pretty much new condition...came off a bike that had only done 3000km's!
Then while I was there I spotted a pair of wheels...nice black ones with OEM red rim stripes in the corner, complete with all brake discs attached, and a set of crappy OEM Dunlop tyres on them!
Picked them up as well! For a price that was less than a new set of decent tyres! Not a scratch on the wheels!
I put the leo's on the orange bike tonight before coming to work...took about 2 hours including a decent polish before installing them. Wanted to see how loud they actually are...and whether they would be quiet enough to
tour with...
Rode the bike to work tonight, and I must say that even with the baffles out (they did not come with any) the noise levels are very civilized!
So I might just leave them on the bike for touring. Will help cut weight down a bit, especially considering all the gear I will have hanging of the bike a lot of the time!
As for the wheels...I can now have one set of wheels with my nice sticky track tyres on them for the black bike, and another nice set of wheels with decent everyday rubber
on them!
As for the spare headers I got as part of the deal...dunno what I am going to do with them just yet!
No pics...everyone know what leo's look like on an Fizzer!
