New Zard Pipe for the 2500cc

I’ve tried ear buds but did not like them. I thought they might cause more hearing damage and did not allow me to hear the environment as well as I wanted to. For me there must be a balance of the factors for music enjoyment and safety.

Maybe the volume was too high? Not like you have to overpower the loud pipes.
The ones I use are for machinists, people working in loud enviornments to listen to music clearly. These are very small, get them deep in canal. Music is so clear, and no matter how good your helmet is, at hwy speed there is some wind noise. Not with these, just a whisper.
I've never avoided an accident because of my hearing. Always brain and eyes. Small chance that changes imo.
 
What brand earplugs?? I've been using Alpine and they work well for that too. Music is clear, road noise is minimal.

What music source are you using, helmet bluetooth? Alpine looks like mostly ear plugs to ALLOW music to be heard while keeping other noise low.
Mine are wired plugged into cell. Cork screw them in tight and perfect.

I bought 3 times, ruined 1 myself, then the next one didn't work so ordered another. Turns out my phone jack was the problem.
 
Ah ok, yeah, i'm using a SENA system
 
Received a quote for $3,450 tax-in, delivered. (Canadian. $$) Includes the zard exhaust and the three carbon fiber covers. I'll start saving my quarters.

Sorry don't mean to derail the thread but where can I find more information about this? Looking to move back to Europe later this year and well the five bikes we have in the garage are less than stock exhaust systems on them all.
 
You might change your mind if you took my H-D Road Glide Limited with its audio system for a spin.

Most countries have a government website that will inform you about the legal restrictions. In short you could say that no changes are allowed unless approved for the motor by the manufacturer and having a EG certificate. Also note that insurance companies made have their reservations.

Sound is a sensitive issue in our motorcycle world - FEMA

FEMA’s Dolf Willigers looks at sound this time and describes the legal issues. With the implementation of the Euro 4 standards, both the limit and the testing methods have changed. Sound is becoming an important issue and with the way some manufacturers deal with aftermarket silencers, we could...

I have put a 90% deposit down on a new Electra Glide Revival - hoping to receive it by mid-July. Things take a bit longer to get to Africa.

I've installed a 600W 4-channel Class-D Arc Audio amp and matching speakers on my Victory XC. I play it at home for the neighbours occasionally (-; with the battery charger connected. Never when the wife and I are riding, though. We hardly ever do highways.
