Looks great! :thumbs:

Looks like it belongs.....Can you get it without the black?
-
Absolutely awesome.
Have you gotten on it and heard it roar yet?
Its amazing.

This is the best looking after market exhaust out there IMO. ;D

Yes it's available in chrome.

Funny; I think it looks just like the stock can, only with a chrome tip & stickers. To each his own, I guess. I'd love to hear one though....

I took a pic of my bike with the new Leo Vince exhaust installed and the stocker lined up on the ground underneath. It really showed just how much smaller it was than the stock one. Has anyone done this with the CS1? It does look larger than my LV.

Sorry about the picture quality, but it tells the size story.

Sorry about the bald spot too.

Half the size and weight...

The glare may be the reason that the rest of the picture is underexposed. My "bald spot" is much more proounced than yours. The screen would probably just be black.

Here you go. A few more pics and a pic with the bag off. Let me know what you think. Just got back from a 200+ mile ride with my wife. Love the pipe. I will however be putting a 1 and 5/8 insert in when it arrives Monday or Tuesday. It is quite a bit louder than the stock pipe, but not that bad in my opinion. The insert should help.

;D

Great looking pipe and can. They put the heat shield in the perfect place.

Very nice CC, sounds great! 8)
You should invest in some slip-ons though, those socks are gonna get dirty... ;)

LOL...that was my exchange student getting a little too happy with the throttle. I was the out-of-breath camera man :D

Thanks for posting the shots all. I am looking at the black for my 09 (red). I thought the lines were nice, would blend in well, with a much less bulky look, your photos verified that for me. Great looking bikes. Keep us posted please, on you overall feelings of the investment.

I've also got one on my red '09 and it's just the perfect sound. It just looks like the bike should've been built with this on it. 8)

Has anyone checked the air/fuel ratio after installing the CS One? I am wanting one, but I don't want to be running too lean. Especially in the 100*+ summer heat.

Running too lean won't be a concern. Even with a full exhaust system, aftermarket air filter, flies removed, etc. the C14 still runs rich through almost the entire RPM range.

I run in economy mode quite a bit and just want to know if I need to buy a controller. I do notice the bike gets hotter on those 100+* days in economy mode. The main benifit of running rich is cylinder cooling. I guess I will call their tech line and see if they have a clue.
