A louder Hindle

[irish2themax]

I agree with Bone Crusher.......Excess Motorcycle Noise will cost us dearly ......the laws and noise ordinances are rapidly being agressively enforced with pretty much ZERO tolerance! Harley-Davidson is aware and extremely pro-active in discouraging their dealers from selling or installing straight pipes......they know the outrage from loud pipes is on the radar screen and is a serious issue of concern to them.Yes....West Virginia just past a noise ordinance,Martinsburg Area, ...........Motocross track too noisy for the residences.......May be forced out of business!
The AMA, American Motorcyclists Assn.fights for our rights....contact those folks and see just how concerned they are over the loss of Rider freedom based on excess Motorcycle Noise!!We are going to have to compromise on LOUD or we will all suffer the consequences!!:yikes:

Glad I read this post. I live in Martinsburg and was unaware of the new ordinance. Thank goodness I didn't modify my Hindle already!!

By the way, NoMagicNeon raised the price on their Hindle 33% from $300 to $400!!! NMN said that Hindle has ceased making mufflers for motorcycles, preferring to focus on the European car market, and dealers are taking advantage of the short supply.

I think you mean Micron, not Hindle. Even at $400, its at least $100 less than most Hindles, more so if you buy from a dealer who won't discount as much.

There is a dealer that can get you the hindle for $430.00 delivered...this, IMHO, is the way to go.

Another, more important point to consider is emissions testing. MD is going to start emission testing motorcycles...this will also make people change their pipes back to stock or near-stock...also eliminating noise (one of the driving factors behind the movement)...other states WILL follow...

Apparently, the hindle will pass emission tests in some states due to the baffle, but until we have proof of that, I won't rely on that (heard it from my dealer).

Anyway, too much noise is annoying...I agree that if you need that much noise, you're lacking something else...or at least soon you'll be lacking your own hearing!

I love the hindle as it's loud enough that people on the road will notice you (compared to stock) but not loud enough to shake the ground when at a light...it is also made for the bike and I like how it integrates easily.

To each their own...those who want to be different, paying the price in hearing loss and tickets and fines down the road (literally and figuratively) is up to you...

Enough said!

I would doubt that, since it has no cat converter. I suspect he meant noise testing, which many places also conduct.

Hindle vs venom

How much louder(quieter) is the Hindle than the Motad Venom? I tried to compare on you tube and liked the Motad a little better but I am concerned about noise.:dontknow::dontknow:

:agree: The hindle has just the right amount of sound without becoming an annoyance. Also agree that it looks like it belongs on the machine.

You're right bjt....I meant the Micron which is what I'm having installed. Getting it through my dealer which reduces it by 15%.

I suffer from Irish Altsheimer's....we can't remember anything but the grudges.
