Bought some new front indicators as the cheap Chinese ones rattled to bits ,need to get them fitted
Noisy as hell and a right laugh to ride bit of a keeper I think, people are always interested in it when I pull up somewhere

Too loud for Castle Combe with a stock exhaust. Not as loud as a KTM 1290R SuperDuke though.. those things are MONSTEROUS!

Fwiw the loudest bike I can recall was a Buell.
It wasn't even moving, it was parked on it's sidestand at tickover.
Just walking on the pavement past the thing litterally hurt, you could literally "feel" the soundwaves inside your body. It gave me an instight into how liquifaction happens during an earthquake.
