Try going direct through the wicked quotes site, that was cheaper than comparison sites for me iirc.

MCE where actually very good with me when I got knocked off a few years back. They are a bit of a gamble on your not causing an accident (due to the high excess) but that's a bet I think I can win.

 

[Fireskull]

Was MCE the one to avoid? Can't remember now...

Yes, lots of horror stories about them refusing to pay out for literally anything.
I personally went with them last year but come renewal they are horrendous so wont be using them again.

It's not just the high excess. They are completely incompetent!

As I said, they were fine with me and my claim.

That website is ****ed atm lol

Does anyone have the below GPR exhaust?

They do a high mount option with this can in titanium and carbon for the VFR800, just wondering what outlet size is, want something decently throaty to let out the V4 rumble

It's between this and a MIVV oval at the moment, this one (standard low mount):

GPR looks so much better, MiVV looks so dated in comparison...

 

[Captain]

What's the price difference between the 2?

 

[tom_e]

FFS just snapped the metal pull off my boot zip, not an issue except the zip is a ratchet so there's no undoing it without a pull of some sort fitted and the hole is too small to use a bit of string or something

Thank the lord of Amazon Prime, got a couple of puller repair things coming to the office tomorrow so I only need to keep hold of the snapped one until then.

 

[TallPaul_S]

What's the price difference between the 2?

£329 for the GPR, £265 for the MIVV. Both the titanium version, the GPR has carbon bits too.

 

[Diddums]

For me it's the MIVV with the plate removed. I'm a sucker for nicely engineered stuff and the GPR looks crap with the black end cap.

Yeah, apparently so, although they are just another broker/reseller, so you'll end up with a different insurance company to someone else with MCE.

 

[tom_e]

Paul will go for the GPR because carbon

Only issue with the MIVV, I'd like a high mount pipe for a) ease of removing the rear wheel and b) looks!

This is one on the bike, but a low mount:

Vs a low mount MIVV:

But the GPR would be in this position:

The actual underwriter will vary all the time but the broker is who you actually deal with when it comes to actually doing anything on your policy. Underwriters don't deal with the general public.

 

[Diddums]

You make a valid point sir, ergo there is only one solution:

Buy both, chop them up, and mount the MIVV on the GPR's brackets.

Job jobbed
