@Taipan gpr do one for my Brutale.

Check to see if they do the front and rear baffle options. Sounds odd I know but one baffle goes in between the connecting pipe and back of the can and then you have the normal one in the end of the can. Might give you some sound options?

The one I linked to mentions ‘double’ baffle.

It’s a good idea and I can see how it would give varied sound signatures.

.....and then I watched the vid.

I can’t hear a difference with the front dB killer in or out.

Yeah, it's my first stop.
IIRC you had the S1 on your rc so you know what I mean about the loudness!

It was loud but it never bothered me when I was riding.
If I was going any distance I put earplugs in.

I don't know about noise laws in the UK, I always made sure I was legal, I never really understood the deliberate flouting of laws because the plod spend a ridiculous amount of time ignoring harder to catch criminals and looking for motorists deliberately flouting laws, so it was just too much hassle.

I'd probably stick with standard if it's legal, in my experience the guys I rode with all had various different aftermarket exhausts on their Dragsters and Brutales and in straight line drag races we were all neck and neck. I raced my mate multiple times on a perfectly straight desert road, him on his bog standard Brutale and me on my RC with race ignition and pipe - not a jot of difference.
They probably just change the power curve so it's better on a track, but they don't make them any faster in a straight line.

I always wear earplugs, every trip.
Noise seems to be a ‘hot topic’ at the moment, our village (Prestbury) is fairly ‘well to do’, there’s been numbers posts on the Facebook group from plod regarding ‘antisocial use of vehicles’ etc.
Anyway, std can is back on now.

[Supermofo]

Yeah standard looks good IMO.

Does the bike require constant drip feeding of Kraken, I'm like that

[Wotsitt]

Looking good with the std can back on. Can't wait to hear it again in the flesh

You’ll have to get close, it’s very quiet.

I’ve cleaned up the Sc Project. Man that colourisation is pretty.

Been wanting to add a phone mount for a while. Found this powered one on Amazon.





Wired it into the rear light circuit. Seems to work fine.

Useful - but I think the Quad Lock charging mount is neater.

I have the regular Quad Lock mount, which is excellent.

Yeah I was looking at the quadlock but I didn’t like the idea of the mount that attaches to the phone interrupting my use of wireless charging pads, it didn’t look like the angle was adjustable beyond a single axis (no ball mount?) and it’s 6 times more expensive then the amazon one.

I think these are the best looking bike I've seen since the launch of the 916, so when one came up on the competition site, I naturally bought a couple of tickets. I then started to look into what they are like to live with and watched a few YT videos. Looks aside, the sound of these bikes is unbelievable isn't it! Got to be the best sounding bike as well as the best looking! I've bought a few more tickets now!

Best bike I’ve owned!
Potteries (where I bought mine from) has a 2018 RC version. It’s at 14.5k and I was looking! Simply stunning!

In some world where I win £5000000 maybe, but in the real world, nah.
