    So I have the arrow slip on's fitted. With the baffles in they are too quiet, and with the baffles out they give me a friggin headache. I was thinking about creating a middle ground by gradually increasing the size and /or quantity of holes in the baffles to give me the sound I am looking for.
    I'm right in thinking this won't cause any issues ?

    Chris, I've got loads of ear plugs as I buy em 200 pairs at a time. I can give you some to see if that makes the difference. Just PM me and we'll sort it out.

    Baffles should be used once a year for the mot then stored away.

    I've got earplugs, the ones I use on the pit wall for the F1 keep all the noise out, but I want to enjoy the sound of my bike so a middle ground has to be found. I will have to modify the baffles gradually until I am happy

    You should be riding with ear plugs in anyway!
    Decibels aren't just about volume, they're to do with the pressure wave generated. At around 40 mph, the noise/pressure around a bike lid is around the same number of decibels that is produced when a Jet airliner takes off. This level is more than capable of damaging your hearing so wear ear plugs!

    Hear endeth the lesson.
