    I fitted a second hand akrapovic can, whilst it is very shiny now the pipes will begin to dull in time and i do not want to remove it just to clean it!! Yesterday when i was at Bury Hill cafe another blade owner pulled up and i noticed he had a Yoshi do dah pipe fitted but he had a lovely side cover/lower fairing piece that covered the underneath pipework. So where can i get one of these? I have looked but cannot see? Any leads would be most helpful.

    Sorry to hijack but does anyone know if the leo vince cover fits on with the akro as it is or does it need some mods to fit ?

    I think any cover you are going to buy is having to be fettled a little to fit, especially if it is for another make of exhaust

    Yours is ment to fit thou mate . This would be awkward on the Akro as the Yoshi has a welded on bracket to fix to . plus i don't think you can buy the yoshi guard separate . The Leo shield has a bolt around the S bend fixing so easily adaptable to an Akrapovic can.
