New exhausts query

[baconboy]

Hi guys looking for some advise again from the vast font of knowledge on this forum. I am planning a long trip on the bike and am looking for a quieter exhaust, or one that doesn't vibrate the bike so much. Do they exist for the rocket?

Yes...the stock ones. Most aftermarket that I'm aware of are louder than stock

that's the ones I have already. thought that aftermarket ones may be better

Quieter well that's a first. What makes you think the exhaust makes a bike vibrate ? .. what exhaust are you running now ?

So you are after quieter than stock mufflers ? Maybe look into a solar powered motorcycle

Did you buy the bike new ? Do you have "stock" or TORs that look like stock ?

I love my bike. the size of it, as I am a large chap, the power, the look, but it seems to vibrate just a bit too much when driven over long periods. I drove for about 10hrs (550miles one way) last summer from south wales to Scotland in a day and at the end of the day my hands were quite a bit fatigued. I just presumed it would be linked to the vibration of the exhausts. I am planning a trip from south wales to south of france (1000miles each way) and want to really enjoy it.

Maybe look into some Isogrips if the vibration through the bars is the problem .. they do help. If it's really vibrating excessively i'd be taking it to a specialist to have it checked out. As far as noise goes they reckon the ear-plugs that drummers use are the best you can get. Musical store should be able to help you out.
