Default Temporary exhaust silencer

Strange question, but figured if anyone would know it would be you guys. I have an 09 Street Glide with stage 1, rinehart exhaust, PV, and RSD breather. I love the sound of it and I find not too loud. In the summer we live in a seasonal campground and I work shift work and 1 of my shifts finishes at 330 am so I get home around 4am. I could see how my camping neighbours might find it too loud at 4am.

Just wondering if anything exists where I could pop in my mufflers as I get to the campground and idle the half mile to my site in middle of the night. Somekind of silencer plug or something?

Ive never seen anything such thing but just wondering. Dont really want all my neighbours to hate me. That would mean less people to have beer with around the campfire.

Copper wool, or redneck pot scrubbers.

Foreign site, but you get the idea. Available everywhere.

Tie a piece of cotton clothesline through the middle, leave about 4 inches hanging out. Pop it in, ride your 1/2 mile, pull the rope. Copper won’t scratch chrome, but check your end caps. ^ Insert muffler tampon joke here.

Park in the guest/visitor area and walk in to your camp site. No matter what you do you will wake other campers.

Thats the option I'm looking at for when I work that shift.

At that hour, you will never make your bike quiet enough to not wake anyone up. You can always turn the bike off and push it the half mile to your campsite.

Or get enough speed going in you can turn it off in neutral and glide in
