Sound travels over 700 mph on most roads so in basic theory at 70mph you lose about 10% of the sound behind you and, maybe but I don't think so, even gain 10% of the sound in front to wind, 10-20% of rear fade ought to even it out? I'm sure you science guys can prove me wrong in many ways. I don't really care as I don't want to lose any bag space and ride solo.

Its always great to hear opinion and how everyone's differs. I think as far as audio, its trial and error with what YOU prefer riding your motorcycle. Of course, there will be reviews, but its all relative for your riding style and conditions.
