It might cost more than you think. Spyder dealers, among others, point out the Hindle is strictly for off-road use. Get caught using it as a street pipe, and you could wind up with a dandy, expensive ticket.:lecturef_smilie:

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I doubt anyone is going to get a ticket for the Hindle. There are plenty of HD's around with much louder pipes. I don't think a police officer has the time to check to see where it may say for off road use only. My Caliber SRT 4 has an after market ECM (from Chrysler) that says for off road use only; there's not a cop around that would give me a ticket for that.
And, by the way, what dealer do you know that actually thinks the Hindle they sell is not going on a street bike?
My dealer will NOT install the Hindle on any street bike, or trike. The Parts Department will tell you point-blank the Hindle is NOT a street pipe. They will sell you one, but will not install it in their shop. Period.:lecturef_smilie:

If you don't wear ear plugs the wind noise in most helmets exceeds all safety standards and will cause hearing loss. Exhaust noise only adds substantially to total db's at rest or low speeds, and that is mostly at heavy throttle use.
At 70mph, all but the really bodacious exhaust systems add only a few db's to the total noise a rider deals with, especially at cruise. Very few people ride for long periods at full throttle (which is where you get extreme db's).
If you want to protect your ears, just getting a Moped muffler isn't going to do it unless you stay within Moped speeds.

:agree:
The wind in your ears is far more dangerous.
I like how these HMF's have the various colors---- pretty cool stuff.
Do you need an elbow from NMN/ESI to hook it up??

That is a good price, especially compared to the others.
Does anyone know how the noise level is versus a Hindle or Two Brothers? I would like a deep rumble sound like the Hindle has, without the brap, brap, or whining sound of a sport bike exhaust.

Funny...my wife is an army doctor...has seen a lot of battlefield injuries (lots of hearing issues due to explosions)...
I wear earplugs so that when I'm 50, I'll be able to hear....(got some time before I get there)...
I like my hindle as it's loud, but not overdone...can still hear though the bluetooth on the zumo 550, with earplugs in.
It's all good...save whatever you can of those ears!!

Mine came from working as a mechanic ground hopping tank engines. Sometimes a little hearing loss comes in handy when the wife starts talking about that honeydo list. Like bajaron said most of your noise comes from the wind.
