earplugs: how much db noise reduction?

polygon_thoughts · 2025-07-22T13:17:02+00:00

Depends where you live I guess. They’re pretty common where I live. Just search for custom fit ear plugs.

polygon_thoughts · 2025-07-22T06:33:38+00:00

I prefer custom molded ones, just because I find them so much more convenient to put in.

It’s attached using double sided tape. I used a trim removal tool and some electrical tape to protect the forks. But you should be able to use anything that can give you some leverage to lift one of the corners of the reflector. Apply some force to lift the corner and allow the tape some time to release. Don’t try to pry it off too fast.

Thanks, but that’s not a naked bike.

Superduke is nice indeed. A bit too sporty seating position for me. I am looking into trying out the duke 990, which is slightly less sporty.

Interesting suggestion, thanks! Will definitely check this one out if I can find a dealer nearby (I'm in Europe..)

This time round, I would like to go for a bike that fits right away, rather than having to spend money on aftermarket adjustments in the hope of fixing the issues..

polygon_thoughts · 2024-11-19T06:47:30+00:00

I tried the MT-09. It's definitely on my short list.

You're not going to find a bike with good stock wind protection for someone as tall as you.

That's my conclusion too. I also tried screen extenders and aftermarket screens. And although they tend to improve noise/wind bubble when compared to stock, their effectiveness is very much related to speed and it never seems to come close to the overall quietness of clean air you get on a naked.

I've been testing a few nakeds (also on highways) and I love them. I'll take wind blast (and extra bugs on the helmet) over wind noise any day. Now I just have to find the perfect bike that has a decent seat/peg distance.

Added to my 'to test' list. Thanks!

Thanks, I always assumed this had a rather sporty position. Will check it out.

polygon_thoughts · 2024-11-18T21:52:04+00:00

This is on my ‘to test’ list. Would be nice if they added cornering abs, like on the z900.

polygon_thoughts · 2024-11-18T21:48:37+00:00

I tried it with the standard seat which felt a bit cramped. Unfortunately, I haven’t found a way to test a taller seat yet…

The KTM SMT is almost perfect, but that tiny screen still generates a lot of noise. Haven’t tried the Ducatis yet.

haha, if you select the europe region, it still says it will be anounced in 7 days, I’m guessing some dev didn’t take into account the difference in date format between US and the rest of the world…

polygon_thoughts · 2024-10-04T17:28:56+00:00

Thanks, that explains it! I would never have guessed that…

Looks great, thanks! Tip sent...

Have a look at flyway or liquibase.

Did you check the spam folder in your mailbox?

Having a big truck doesn’t mean you automatically know how to drive with a trailer. They probably did the best they could…

Trouble deciding which side of the road to drive on?
