Just watch out once you have it on. You will be revving it for no reason other than to hear that beautiful sound of the LV pipe. You'll find yourself revving it as you go under bridges and taking off WOT from a standstill just to enjoy the melodious sound. Then we'll have to welcome you to the LV army Doug.

The LV pipe is music to our ears. Maybe we don't need a scooter theme song going through our heads as owners of an LV pipe because the music is the LV pipe. 8)

Benny...got a question...your pic on MV shows your new bike with the LV pipe...so, you have been using it for awhile...and yet it still looks silver in the picture...not ugly bronze like mine...yours looks like mine did the day I installed it...I know most turn bronze...did you clean it with something or what??? How do you keep yours the silver color?

I think he must have taken that picture while it was still brand new.

I contacted LeoVince about this problem, and they informed me there was no way to get it back to its original silver color. The heat changes it over time and there apparently is no going back.

If anyone has tried anything to prove LV wrong, I'd love to hear about it.

While the "bronzing" doesn't bother me that much, It would be nice to bring the stainless silver back.

I have to admit that the shop cleaned it with something when they prepped my new Super for me. I don't know what they used, but it sure cleaned up nice. The pipe is a bit bronze coloured but it is still nice looking.

Couldn't have been when it was new because he transferred his LV pipe from his GTS250 to the new Super 300...and, he had already had it for a year...would like to know also what Benny's place cleaned it with...hey Benny, find out for us please????
