Hi Dutch,

Do you still have the stalling problems with the leo vince pipe on?

Hate is a strong word lol, I have noticed the chain is abit exposed but dont realy see it as a problem for me but have felt my foot touch it a few time, not often tho.

Hev you done anything with the mirrors?? or are they still standard?

Cheers Kiwi

I had to think long and hard about this. The only thing I could come up with is the quiet exhaust sound. I love the look of the exhaust but not the sound. I installed the Leo Vince yesterday and need to see how much I like it by putting some miles on it. I do like the sound from it so far.

The Leo pipe only makes the bike better. Deeper sound but not obnoxiously loud.

Ok went for a ride yesterday (2 up & 580 odd K's) and I agree with Morpheous, the stock seat is HARD!!

I dont hate it but after that many K's I do dislike it haha.

I am going to order the +40mm gel insert seat for the longer trips.


Other then that I LOVE my duke, its the best and it suits the roads over here so well.

Cheers Kiwi
