Has anyone fitted a Leo Vince Evo II carbon muffler? The US factory says they don't know if it clears the BMW luggage or not. What kind of an answer is that?? Thanks.

I haven't seen anyone around here with one, not to say there's not, but there's a few posts on youtube with SKB cans - you could ask them. Just search for r1200r...

ChiTown, I did check Utube but no luck. I did, however find a Spanish forum and translated one post by someone who was not happy because the bags didn't clear. Not sure if it was the same muffler I want.

Leo Vince USA has agreed to contact Italy to find out about bag clearance.

ChiTown, I did see this one on Utube, but the Evo II carbon is different. The muffler is smaller in dia. and the connector pipe is bent as such to give the muffler more of an angle, it matches the frame angle perfectly and that angle might make an interference fit with the bags.

Thus is the note I got from Leo Vince:"Our pipes fit like the stock ones, so we think there are not problem with the bags, even if we are not sure 100% because the bike that we used to develop our exhaust had not the bags."
Ciao!
