Any prolonged sound exposure over 85 decibels will eventually cause hearing damage. Most aftermarket Harley pipes are well over 85 decibels.
Same boat and have been wearing ear plugs for the past few years , but with the F6B if I'm just riding locaally and keeping it under 50 even with the vance & hines pipes the bike is pretty quite for my ears but thats with the wing wind screen.
I still have the loud bikes , no harleys just Vmax's with UFO dragstars will do the job .
