What number of # will you have to loose to drop a meaningful percent?
By improved do you mean louder? OSHA will provide plenty of info about constant loud sounds inducing fatigue and causing errors. |
Sorry I have no input on the power arguement with a slipon. All I'm saying is the other benefits a slipon will have. Less weight makes it easier to maneuver the bike. Louder and better sound than the stock cans. I admit part of my enjoyment in riding is hearing the engine(exhaust). Throttle response will increase especially if the slipon removes the catalytic converter which removes even more weight. Aftermarket looks better too. OSHA deals with work related issues so think about an example of what they would analyze like machinery or construction equipment. Sounds that you wouldn't want to hear continuously or even at all could cause fatigue because your so tired of hearing it. I'd never get tired of hearing my exhaust.
