FrankoQ Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 For some strange reason, this 04 bike came with R1 pipes. Don't ask me why. They looked ok but they were way too quiet. The clamp was easy to get loose with some liquid wrench. The pipe came right off with little effort. after removing the under seat bolts, this guy was gone. All the pieces for the Leos: Removing the baffles was easy. Just undo the allen screw and pull the piece out. Next, start assembling the pieces. do not install the springs yet. Don't forget to properly set the rubber for the clamps: Next, install the cans and start playing with proper alignment. I read many other threads about these pieces and how some do not use them and end up having issues to get the cans in the right place/alignment. of course, the Leo instructions do not tell you anything about how to use these. You need to remove the OEM rubber bushings. use a flat head screwdriver and push in the direction of the red arrow. Here you see the aluminum bushings that came with the leos. You also need to use the 2 spacers that came with the kit. Almost done! Final product: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankoQ Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 Word of advice: Make sure the slip on clamp is TIGHTLY secured. Mine started to come off. I had to loosen the can clamps from under the seat to be able to push the pipe all the way in and then secure the clamps again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VietHorse Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Franko, Have you got any photo of your bike with R1 exhaust when they had not been taken off? Are they too much longer than the VFR OEM set? I am still wondering the fitness of the (aftermarket) R1 exhausts to 6th VFR. Thank so much.

Guest Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Thanks for your pictorial guide, it helped me a great deal! It took me many, painstaking, double the hours necessary because I tried to work around not removing my OEM hard bag rails, license plate holder, and tail lamp... wound up removing most of these anyways... live and learn.

twitte Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Very Nice. I am thinking about doing the same to my 2005. Can I ask what you paid for those pipes? Do you feel you need to fiddle with the FI (powercommander) after the install? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 The pipes sound INCREDIBLE!!! I love 'em - not too loud, but a far cry from stock! I will create a youtube video and post it... sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VietHorse Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Couple of weeks ago, I bought two Yoshimura exhaust from Yamaha R1 and planned to modify to fit with my VFR: However, then I have got quite reasonable deal of a Leo VInce set (made for VFR 6th Gen). I decided to sell the Yoshis. I 've just received the below set and this thread helps me a lot on installation and to imagine how big the gap btw the exhausts and the saddle racks should be. The bolting clamps were missing, so my first thing is to make two clamps here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VietHorse Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Oh hell. Forgot to take some pics to report you guys. Here 's how I took the OEM cans off the bike: And the CF cans are ready beside: Get the pipe on: Then the cans: And the final product with to day shooting: I have just changed the exhaust, yet to change the aftermarket air filter or add the PC. Bike runs great, sound is awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
