Do you wear a helmet?
I changed my pipes to the Cycle Shacks, which should be similar.
I hardly ever wear a helmet, butthe 1st time that I did,the noise was unbearable. I have a full face white Q-Tip looking thing. Another post I read somewhere around here was about helmets & noise. Its funny that some people have the muffler / helmet noise problem and some people don't. I guessit depends on the brand and type of helmet you have.
I felt like I was inside a steel drum and someone was banging on the outside. So now, anytime I wear the helmet, I put some ear plugs in first. Ialso keep some ear plugson the bike for those55 mph + trips with out the helmet to cut out the wind noise.
If it wasn't for the ear plugs, I would have to change my pipes back or find a different helmet.November is only 2 months away, I will have to wear the helmet all of the time then. Unless we get one of those Elnino........Lanina things (and no I don't know how to spell those words)
