    The Yasuni Z pipe is driving me nuts with the noise, even though it's epic. So, I answered an advert on Gumtree that was selling a 'Vivacity exhaust' and on opening the plastic it was wrapped in, I found out that it's a Leo Vince Sito exhaust.

    I have some Leo Vince aluminium mounting brackets, but I'm not 100% certain they are for a Peugeot scooter. What I could do with is a picture of the standard brackets as fitted to the air-cooled Vivacity 50cc Mk.1 or Mk.2, as I already know what the Trekker ones look like (I think). The engine should be the same in theory, but I want to check.

    I just want to check the length of the brackets, to see if I have accidentally hit on a matching pair of exhaust plus brackets.

    Thanks

    I finally succumbed and bought a new set of Leo Vince brackets from A J Sutton - they were surprisingly reasonable on price too and they fit all Leo Vince exhausts for the vertical cylinder Peugeot engine.

    When I compared the new steel brackets with the old aluminium ones, it was obvious that the lower link of the old brackets was too long. I could shorten the lower link and make it match the new ones, but I'll leave that for now and use the new brackets with the Sito exhaust. Interestingly, the old aluminium brackets are marked 'Leo Vinci' not 'Leo Vince'. They are obviously from the same manufacturer though.

    I now need to wire brush and re-paint the Sito exhaust in hi-temp black, ready to fit to the bike. Once that's done, I'll dig out my old Colortune spark plug kit and try using that to jet the carb properly across the rev range.

    If anyone is potentially interested in either a Tecnigas Next or a Yasuni Z exhaust to fit a Trekker / Speedfight./ Vivacity Mk 1 or 2 with the vertical cylinder, PM me and we can discuss them. Both are in excellent condition and have been refurbished to a high standard.
