That was the whole idea actually, with it being a matte black it's not very noticeable at night and I couldn't agree with you more about that exhaust wrap! I'll live in a relatively quiet community down here in South Florida and not only does that exhaust wrap need to be addressed but so does that whole exhaust a system. It is just unnecessarily loud without any baffles,
I believe you are correct, oddly enough the idea with the blue and black bike concept is to Back the Badge . I diffidently support the cause, but I suppose there might be a better way then breaking an ordinance.
