howdy all. I am looking at becoming a Sito(Leo Vince) dealer. Does anyone here have a Sito system on their Airhead? on another BMW or other brand? I'm interested in getting some feedback.
AND if we become a dealer I will make a really special 1st order offer to forum members.... 25% off any Leo Vince/Sito product in this first order.
Contact me direct at
matt@boxerworks.com if your interested in a deep discount on some new exhaust...
thanks,
Matt

Had a pair of Sitos on an R100 a couple of years back. Very good chrome and solidly constructed.
Here in the UK they're priced as a premium pattern brand (around £200 per pair as opposed to cheaper copies at around £150 per pair).

Matt, I've had Sito's on my /5 for about 7 years. I've been pleased with them. The chrome has held up pretty well. Sound level was just a bit louder than factory Zuena's. My only criticism is that they are much heavier than the factory mufflers.
I had purchased them from Motobins at the time. Their surface shipping was not bad then. Almost no one carried Sito's at that time in the US. I've noticed that there are some US dealers now.
Probably a nice line to carry and a good product at a medium price for Airheads.

I purchased a set of almost new Sito silencers off ebay to replace my original Zuena's.
I think I know why the guy sold them. They were very much louder than Zuena's with a real bark under load and an annoying drone even under light throttle cruising. I couldn't live with them an had to make up some baffle tubes to quiet them down.
Quality of construction and chrome seems very good.

EX harley rider?
I got my first one 3 years ago, and I like it! there is lots to like.. mile of smiles
Swapmeets has lots of used parts you can inspect and know what your getting, instead of those that sell on Ebay and send some other part and call you cheat
my bike is 8 years old and in a differnt world.......
The 37 year old BMW which one can get few new parts for, there is little new for frames or tanks and fenders and the treasured /5 bucket with a decent light for the road
Still there is noththing more exciteing then massageing a little more power or smoother ride or getting some little part to go longer
when my /5 first came to me, I fixed about everything and learned to do more and got pretty good at it to help keep it going...
I have had about every thing weak or legend of MFG happen to me with it, except the 100,000 mile of trouble free use
How much $ for the exhaust are we talking
