After you buy her that headset you might consider selling your wife off! My wife thought it was an invitation to talk 24/7 while on the bike!!! Shhhhh....I bought the pipes to hear them....headset was given to her! Have fun and good luck!

Yep its definitely just a start, I started out the same way but it took me two year to get pipes. I couldn't find that sound I was looking for. I'm at almost 4k invested in mods in right at three years and not even half way done with everything I want to do to it. Congratulation on the new scoot and pipes.

I actually look forward to the wife having a headset. She sees things that I miss since I am watching for the idiots. We do many rides in the mountains and there are many sights to see.

Still have not had a chance to go for a long ride. Darn weather has been raining/sleet/snow/windy since I put pipes on. Maybe Wednesday according to the weather liars. LOL

Save your money and do what we do. If she wants to say something, or point something out, she taps my left shoulder. If she wants to stop, she taps my right shoulder and points to where she wants to stop.
