I like the paint its different and that exhaust is only noisy when he winds it up in tunnels So if Chris stays out of tunnels ans keeps the revs down its quiet 
ISH

I've defo got a road baffle, jest taken it outta my 'arris. The Old Gurl not only soundz great but actually runs better 
If your race baffle hasn't been wadded it will be stupidly loud. Take it out and wrap fibreglass loft insulation around the perforated tube and then re-insert it. It is still throaty but not offensively loud; they always pass the MOT at my locla MOT centre with comp baffles (on classic bikes ). I passed a number of pigs on the way to the Ace and got no grief so it can't be that loud. You must use the proper fibreglass insulation as there is some recycled stuff out there now, which is basically plastic which will make a nasty mess of yer can
I'm so chuffed with my new baffle I wont be returning to the soft side so if you want it, you're welcome to it

had the end cap off today. Looks like it can be wadded quite a bit more so I'm going to try that first.
Thanks for the offers of baffles - lets see how we go.

Hi Chris
I have now found the offending baffle.
The Old Gurl passed her MOT today complete with race baffle and the tester commented on how gorgeous she sounded ... I had to agree Oddly I seem to be getting more miles to the gallon as well 
If you really wanna restrict the breathing of your Zed and ruin that gorgeous symphony let me know - I certainly don't want it The Old Gurl has been improved in every direction by the baffle change
If you're going to our meeting on Sunday I'll strap the offending article to the bike If not I'll post it
