Had the noise check today and if anything, found out i wont be needing to hire out a venue to perform the actual test, this will save a few bucks.
Bad news is, it failed.......badly

driveby noise test max: 84Db..... result 94Db
Stationary exhaust noise test at 3300RPM max 96Db... result 99Db.

Now im in thinking mode as to what to do about this cost effectively.

On the driveby it was mainly exhaust noise that put me over, so Ill concentrate on that first. Hopefully that will sort out the stationary test at the same time.
I dont really have the dollars to redo the exhaust, so im going to have to work out a system of baffles or something to mute it down a bit without too much backpressure.
So thats pretty much it till christmas is over and done with, I will be putting it up on stands tommorrow,drop the 'zorst and have a look as to what i can do.

I'll keep you posted.
