Protection of hearing (of others...)
I am reasonably sure that you’re trying to be funny here, rotor, but since you should have hearing protection anyway, your choice of exhaust is pretty much irrelevant; at least as far as most of the relatively quiet aftermarket exhausts that most CB1100 riders use is concerned.
Partially. It was an attempt to make light of a subject that I consider serious: motorcycle noise, a source of irritation for those we share the road with.
If the problem is the noise generated by the airflow ("wind noise") the first measure to try is a better helmet.
If the problem is the engine noise, think about those that you share the road with, before you think of yourself. (kind of: think not what your country can do for you...)
I have a bottle of Sarajishvili to be cracked open when I see on this forum the first post that goes something like: I find the noise level produced by my motorcycle annoying, what kind of after-market exhaust can someone recommend in order to reduce it... (Well, joking again. I don't thing the aforementioned bottle will survive that long
With this, I'll excuse myself from further discussion on this topic - must prepare for a trip. Off tomorrow early. Stay tuned...
