Ok I know this goes against the grain here, but does anyone make an exhaust that would be QUIETER then stock? I do a lot of long trips and anything I can do to make her more comfy would be a plus.
I *hate* loud exhausts on ANY type of vehicle. IMHO being fast means being "SSSH"- silent, slick, stealthy, harmonious (I know, that is corny and I just made it up!!!
That said, I think the stock C14 exhaust is not loud at all. Hard to imagine something quieter on a large bike. Are you sure you are hearing exhaust noise and not wind, tire, or intake?
