    I had some time to myself so gave the bike a bit of a clean fitted my new leavers and decided to have another go at the shield that replaces the bit of faring you lose if you have an after market can. I got a Leo Vince shield.

    What do you think I am not sure if I like it.? I am wondering about cutting it down a bit to show the whole of the can. Has anyone got ant ideas or have you done this already..

    Really liking that mate - does the panel come with fixings/brackets for mounting? I'm thinking of an Akrapovic as I like the quality but without the panel its looks unfinished -thanks

    Hi Mr H. The panel came with the fixing brackets for the leo exhaust. The top & bottom front brackets that came with the kit just needed a tiny bit of tweaking to get it to sit right. The bottom rear I had to make a bracket as the one in the kit wasn't right. Very easy to do, just a straight strip of stainless cut to length with a whole in the end, mounted to the exhaust pipe just before it joins the can. To be honest I think the panel would stay in place with only the two mounts but I just wanted to be sure.
