...I thenswitched to SE II's and find they are "throatier" (to my ears) with no annoying harmonics (to my ears) at any speed. I am now thinking about going with Thunder Baffles in the SE II'sto get a lower tone.

I wear a half-helmet and do wear foam earplugs, not because of the pipes but the wind roar. I wear a three-quarter in the winter and don't need the plugs.

RE: New pipes hurting my ears!
Hi eggroll, sorry if this is something that you've explained on another tread ... what did you do to modify your stock pipes? Not only do I hurt my ears and **** offthe neighbours (I live in a condominium with a basement carpark that amplifies even a regular exhaust note!), but now my wife and daughter refuse to ride with me. Now for many, that may be a blessing in disguise! For me, I like the company from time to time.

WHAT? Speak up, sonny!
Actually, my 1994 XLH 883 was bopped to stage one 1200 w/scream eagle pipes, new intake w/KN filter and as long as I used 92 octane and don't drag race I swear it was quieter than stock.
Honest.
Bud.

I agree with SportyPig on this one. My SEII changed as the carbon built up in them. At first, they had a higher sound but as the carbon builds up they now sound lower and produce more of a rumble at any speed. I'd run them a couple hundred miles and see how you like them then, It took mine about 400 miles. I went on a run with the local Legion Riders and the first three bikes were Big Twins with straight pipes, I couldn't even tell if my bike was running at times!!!!!
