I had a small accident with my 990R a few days ago. Only light cosmetic damage on fairing, windscreen, crashbar and left stock silencer.

Well, luckily the insurance are replacing all scratched parts..  ;D. So, the thing is, the left silencer has a replacement cost of R10k, so the insurance suggested to rather replace both silencers with brand new Leo Vince silencers..  :biggrin:

The other thing, I recently bought an excellent condition second hand set of Akrapovics.

So, my 'dilemma', do I fit the second hand set Akrapovics or fit the brand new set of Leo Vince's?

What is your experience with both?

I am also in 2 minds about selling one set and am considering to keep both for when I buy another 990 in the future.

On the other hand, the moola I can get for the second set will at least cover my insurance excess and pay for a few tanks of petrol..
