I finally decided that I want an exhaust and decided on the carbon Leo. Unfortunately, it seems that they are no longer making them for the Super T! Jaxon is out, not in stock at Motorcycle Superstore, NLA per Indy Superbikes. Damn! Anyone have a line on where to get one? There must be a few out there somewhere.
Source for Leo Vince Exhaust?

I'm good friends with the parts manager at a local Yamaha dealer, and he told me they are straight up unavailable when I went to order it. I was wanting the Leo, but had to switch over to the Arrow. The folks at Arrow are telling me Leo is all but out of business as of current.

The used Leo's just doubled in price... 
We have sold a ton of LV parts. I'm great friends with all those folks over there. We have some news heading our way, don't have a date yet....

I really like my Akrapovic. It is not much louder than the stock pipe, but does sound throatier, and it looks great.Ironhand said:

And has a welded on hanger bracket, rather than a sheet metal strap wrapped around it...
IMHO, that's a good thing!
Probably one reason why Yamaha chose it as the one they list on their own accessory pages.

Damn and I was waiting for a Leo sale. If I had to choose a comparable sounding pipe I would go to a Remus. But then I'm only comparing from Youtube, Never heard either one in person. One good thing about Remus is never needs repacking, Pricey though.

I'm sponsored by LV. They moved production and will be back up and running soon. LV USA will respond to direct inquiries with latests info/news. Not too much longer...
I just ran into the same thing.......very disappointing.
Jaxon....Any hints to be given on what might be new for the ST?

I just sent LeoVince USA a email asking about availability of the ST slip ons and here is the reply I received:
"Dear Customer,
LeoVince USA has ended its distribution agreement with the LeoVince brands and is no longer selling or servicing this brand. If you have warranty needs or product issues please forward all correspondence to the address, email or phone numbers listed below. We thank you for ten years of exceptional business and your patronage with LeoVince USA"
So, LeoVince USA is no longer associated with LeoVince?!?!?!
Did LeoVince go out of business or?

Sounds to me like Leo Vince in Italy and Leo Vince USA had a bit of a falling out. Happens between overseas manufacturers and USA distributors all the time. ::025::
Either the manufacturer will find a new USA distributor or they will decide not to have one in the States, and either sell direct from Europe or not to the USA at all.
Then again, if Leo Vince Italy has gone down the tubes it's not the end of the world. There are plenty of other aftermarket exhaust manufacturers.

Regarding Leo Vince exhaust systems, I just got this from a 100% reliable source...
"Sito Group in Italy that owns Leo Vince Italy went tits up….they had 4 LV factories all over EU, and the latest rumor is the one main factory is being started back up under new owners….maybe teaming up with the LV-USA guys??
Leo Vince USA just doesn’t have anything to sell right now, and are changing up names, and selling other brands."
So it looks like the manufacturer in Europe went belly up. Oh, well.
Just FYI...
