This evening I tried the slightly higher level filter in my ear plugs (the gold one on the Alpine Music Safe plugs). Fixed it, lol. I'll be taking the bike on the trip starting Monday...

My Vaquero is fairly loud when shifting as well, so was the last one I had. I would say in general, the 1700 is a loud bike. Lots of belt whine on decel, fairing creaking and vibrating, and shift...

Rode around for longer this evening. The Freedom pipes are the loudest under load and mild to moderate throttle, such as going up a hill. In this scenario, they aren't any quieter than the other...

I'd imagine that calling Freedom or PartsGiant to place an order might be successful, and I'd...

The Freedom pipes are out for delivery today, so I'm planning to install them when I get home and then take a quick ride. I had pulled the V&H off over the weekend, and the bike is just sitting there...

The tri-ovals seemed like something I'd have liked to try, but they no longer make them. I found one set on ebay for like $800+ last week, but I refuse to pay that much for pipes...

Thanks for the info, I'll try them for grins. I can always sell one or both sets easily enough on ebay. Any pipes I've ever had are always much louder in a 3/4 or a fullface helmet than in a half...

For what it is, the Vaquero is about the best deal on the market, I really enjoy mine. The Indians are nice, but you'll pay for them for sure. I ended up opting for a stripped down Dark Horse that...

You're doing better than I am MPG wise, my Indian Dark Horse gets 42 if I'm lucky. I am just running Bassani pipes and a Thunder Mfg air cleaner with a Dobeck EJK however, so it isn't "tuned". I'll...
