    Wow, these are the worst instructions I've ever seen! Leo Vince USA distributers should be ashamed. Can't find a thread on it so posting here:

    First, is there a specific way the little L shaped bracket is supposed to be mounted, direction wise? Looks like it mounts to the connector pipe, then to the passenger footpeg bracket? Anyone have a pic? Also looks like one of the arms of the L bracket is longer than the other. Which one gets mounted where?

    Truthfully, any tips and especially pics are welcome. If there's a thread with all this in it please point me that way.

    Yes but I think I've got it all figured out. Only took me an hour. Pretty easy once you play with it for a second. Still unbelievable they package them with the lack of instructions that they do. They are incredibly quiet with the inserts installed. Why anyone who likes a quiet exhaust would buy and use them with the inserts is beyond me? If you want quiet use the oem exhaust. The Leo is close to the same with those blasted inserts. Took them out and it has a nice growl! sexy, like what a V4 should sound like. The only issue I have is the tucked in license plate mount (no oem fender for me). I had to trim a bit off the cornes to keep it from hitting the mufflers. Still barely touches so going to have to fix that tomorrow, more cutting.

    Wow, that looks quite nice. I'm a big fan of the fatter, shorter look. Curious how they sound now.

    Here are some pics of my front axle sliders. $26, but the rod and one of the bolts had to be trimmed down 1/4 inch to work. Very nice otherwise.
    The levers are adjustable/extendable and are pivot levers. Not bad for $67 Pic also shows my Gen Mar handlebar risers. $60 on fleabay.

    And carbon fiber yoke protector to cover the scratches from the previous owner letting luggage keys bang along.

    Yeah, it can look a little confusing until you begin to slowly assemble them and then it begins to make sense. The instructions are pretty much useless. They are a great sounding system and don't really require any engine or fuel modding.
