I think you are on the right path then mate.

There are good helmets for it too... An open face I bought recently blocks way more exhaust noise than my full face.

Didnt notice when I tried it on in the shop, but on the first ride it was obviously quieter than any helmet I have had before. Biggest difference for start to the work day.

Bonus that it wasnt too dear (think it was $80 cash at a harley stealer) and was matte black.

Hey Jye, I have a set of SE Black Slip Ons and Buckshot shields if you are keen?  Also have an SE Air Filter if you want to add it to your beast. 

Hi there, I actually just picked up the shields in black.

Which air filter is it?

Same air cleaner and exhaust type as what is on SJ's bike above.
