Back to Stock

[MikeyTX]

If it doesn't rain Sat. and my indie can get my trike in, I'm going back to the stock intake and kicking the Ness Big Sucker to the curb. I want to quiet the intake sound now that I have to wear hearing aids.

Intake noise never bothered me till I had to start with the hearing aids. All that racket kind of reminds me of my ex wife. :clapping:

It's amazing what you hear once the aides are in ... :AGGHH:

I'm into mellow. Not too loud not too quiet. Not intake, but I have Screaming Eagle Street Cannons for pipes. Definitely hear them under load. Not sure how they compare to other slip ons, but they appear to be quite free flowing. Performance and engine cooling/care requires some sacrifices. I would prefer something a bit more quiet, but I'm good. I think the big twin is happy.

To much noise is a bummer. I think my trike is on the edge, but the wife likes it. I do not use the hearing aids while riding, would drive me crazy, and for sure don't use them when the little grandsons are here.

Jim, I have the over the ear right now and they are fine when driving the car or truck. State of TX has a program for working Texans that will cover up to 100% of the cost of hearing aids. I took advantage of it and am waiting for solid state, custom molded hearing aids to come in. They push in similar to the custom made shooters or m/c ear plugs. My out of pocket for them was only $875. The batteries get replaced once a year. State covers the servicing cost. They will sync to my phone so I can take phone calls over them and play music.

Take mine out while riding. If riding more than a couple miles I wear foam ear plugs just to cut down wind noise.

Jim, in TX, just like glasses, it goes on your driver's license as a code letter.

Did not know that. NM does not have a code for hearing on the license.

I have the wire insert. There is a switch that will cut the background noise which is good. I use my aids to help cut the crickets that are inside of my ears. LOL

I will be able to get an upgrade in 2018 at no cost. I like the idea of battery change yearly.
