That sounds like a business opportunity to me.
The silicone I use is pink....now I need a paying volunteer who can lie on their side for 30 mins at a time.

Yes, there was a boom around the 2000s with the internet playing a big part and it continues today.Slotcar bodies?!??
Are they still a thing?
Many new brands from Europe. If you are keen search for Slotit, NSR, Scale Auto, Thunderslot, Carrera and of course Scalextric.
Dropped in to VTNZ for a "warrant of stiffness" today,short hop to home so didn't put the Bungs in!!!
Man what a bloody racket !!!
(I'm reminded why I wear them every time on the bike !).![]()
You'd never go hungry with Nigella Gaz.
If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..
Yeah. Wind noise screwed me. Noisy helmet ... didn't realise until after I'd bought it. It wasn't until I'd done a ride from Christchurch to Temuka (Timaru) and I struggled to hear conversation clearly for a while that I realised something was up. The rest of that trip involved going up the West Coast starting at Queenstown so 1000+kms damaging myself without really realisiing.
When the penny dropped, I did start using ear plugs ... nothing fancy though, just the foam disposables from Bunnings. that made a difference but of course once it's damaged, it doesn't come back. I probably wore them for about 8 years? I stopped using them when I sold my 600. I still ride (of course!) but it's only on a CT110 for DX Mail so I don't go that fast and I've got a good quiet helmet.
Grow older but never grow up
I have been riding every dry day(new bike) and using the foam plugs with moderate success.
I bought a Bell qualifier helmet which unknowing to me was a noisy thing with a badly sealing visor on the left side.
So after searching and reading reviews(just like the Mrs told me to do) I coughed up for another helmet LS2 Vector (she doesnt know that bit) which was about twice the price of the Bell qualifier...much better noise levels. The visor closes tight on the LS2, the air noise is there but no where near as bad as the squealing pig that I listened to previously...happy rider now.
And I will continue to use ear plugs.
Or when you go on a road trip with the lads. Someone always ends up sounds like a chainsaw 1/2 underwater
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
Good recommendations here, I just received my pacific ears pro27’s and did my 1st ride.... wow!
I’m new to riding 6 months ish, gt air2 with sena set up, stock tracer 700. I was initially surprised how much wind noise there is but have nothing to compare to & after a 2 hour ride my ears were ringing.
As a stop gap I used foam plugs which improved things but are a pain to keep in.
The process is really simple order them and pay online, they emailed fast to let me choose my nearest audiologist (bay audiology) I went for the moulds but had too much wax so if you’re getting some just get your ears cleaned 1st to save two trips.
Got the moulds which is 15mins and painless-no extra charge.
I popped them in today rode 2-3 hours and no ringing, I could hear my music clearly and my very quiet engine but couldn’t hear any road or wind noise. So I’d recommend them.
They’re silicone with a small canal and the noise filter you choose for those that haven’t seen a set.
Just for an idea of how they are ...the kettle was boiling (one of those loud annoying kettles) I popped them in and couldn’t hear it anymore but could talk at normal volume.
Same on the bike even with the visor defogger vent open at 100ish Kph there was no wind noise at all!!
I recently got a pair of pro 27's too, I've had plugz4lugz, ear jobs and a bunch of other types but these things are on another level. I wish I'd bought them years ago. I've been recommending them to anyone that's not already too deaf to listen.
You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be quoted out of context, then used against you.
Pro 27, bloody awesome, have the Pro Impulse for shooting and chainsaw work, they are great for sudden loud noises but not a touch on the Pro27 for wind noise
