Here is a picture of the basket. I always wondered what one looked like.
I have a 05TD. Had it about 2 months now, noticed the loud noise on the way home from buying it. Did some research and found this place and all the complains about the noise. Had the local dealer change out to the I basket. Took about 20-25% of the noise down.
I did some experimenting the other day, usually wear a 1/2 helmet, switched to a 3/4 with face shield, with the shield down cuts it down better than half. Take your bike's windshield off and you cant hear anything but wind after about 25mph. Next step is mobile 1 this weekend. I also have some speakers on the way for next weekend. Next step is the pipes.
