Also a Harley rider & have to disagree; the stock baffles make the bike bearable at normal road traffic situations & "loud pipes saves lives" is nonsense; a modern day car is so soundproofed & with great music sound systems I wouldn't even know you were there no matter how much you revved your Screaming Eagles at me - the wife wouldn't even get distracted from her social media scrolling before checking a mirror (for her hair of course). Horn is a different pitch and sending sound in the right direction for starters - if you're making noise at something behind you, it's already not your problem.

Louder yes, maybe it'll give you a tiniest chance of being heard - baffles removed, straight through/modified to be extra loud - not needed, better bike skills are. ar drivers are all complete morons, just ride with that in mind & you should never be in a situation where you even need a horn.

The only other comment I'd add is from some decent biking channels such as MCRider, FortNine, etc. there are numerous comments from "big rig" drivers saying that Harley-esque cruisers CAN be heard & that it might help, but for sports bikes it's such a high pitched whine even they can't hear you.

I hear what you are saying, and I suppose there are many different opinions according to conditions and location.
I don’t ride around the city that much; I do however travel the notorious national road 4 daily in both morning and afternoon peak hour traffic from the airport into Kandal province.
No matter how good of rider you are, there are still times you need to drawer attention to your presents. (I have seen more than enough death on that road in the past year)
For the record, in my opinion and experience cars and trucks are not my problem, they are often predictable, it’s the idiots on motos and the makeshift moto ppl movers that are coming at you from all directions that I need to draw their attention.
Those old motos with a ton of steel and axel welded together carting 20 people down the road at 20 km per hour with only drum front brakes are time booms, often on the wrong side of the road coming at you with no hope to stop. A good blast of the throttle when 30 odd meters away to make them aware of you has saved me many times in the past.
Loud pipes, a scary barps makes then shit themselves enough and pay attention. Horns do stuff all because they are blearing constantly.
For the record, my Harley is running straight through pipes

(I am part of the problem)

Headed home to disconnect the batteries so they cannot force me to start either.
Even if they issue and official DB rating, its still only comes down to a roadside judgment as the street cops don’t have the equipment to test noise levels.

Looks like ill be in a PassApp for the next month.
Well don't worry too much the police apparently was taking them from people's homes, and then this happened
In the voicemail sent to the Phnom Penh Municipal Police, Lt. Gen. Thet stated, “This suspension is waiting to receive a new order from General Dr. Neth Savoeun, the National Police Commissioner General, to avoid prejudice against the people because some of the motorcycles are not modified, they are the original (exhausts) from the factory.”

I did see that in the news, It could be the translation but the way I see it, all General Dr. Neth Savoeun, has done now is given the cops no face. I honestly think it could be a lot worse in the coming month or so.
For me, both bikes are running aftermarket pipes so no change, they are remaining parked up.

That's fair & you're absolutely right; all my riding is pretty much in town & much more predictable - I wouldn't risk the bike (or my life!) on the National Roads here; sticking to the car for that. On those roads I think anything goes to ensure you're seen/heard - and even then that LX570 is still going to give you half a yard of dirt to play with! Good luck, & ride safe out there.

There’s a new thing that bikers do called “rev bombing” on people they perceive to have done a wrong to them.

If they spent time breaking or manoeuvring instead of killing their engine and clutch they may avoid such incidents.

Bellends.

Rev bombing is what 16 year olds do when they get their first 50cc motorbike *cringe*

Kids are 50cc scooters or peds are not bikers.

I have seen more articls and quotes of the General today, what he was saying about the situation, talking, that it's not right turning up at someone's home and taking their bike because it maybe loud, also it was mentioned that noise from bike's had interacted with the sleep of the countries leaders.
I have also read of bike groups who have the larger motorcycle, they mentioned that the law is unclear of the situation, cause of a quick change again could see them paying a large fine.
I actually took a tuk-tuk today, the first in a long time, agreeing with you and many other people at this time, the bike is better off at home until the matter has clear definitions, or something of that nature.
I am too running a after market end can, and now if it was possible in the first place to obtain an original one, the price I have seen some on offer are obviously at a hefty premium.
I have actually put a central baffle in the pipe itself before the end can when I recently rebuilt the bike, but yesterday removed it and put it in the end can so if I did get pulled over, at least it would be there for the police to see.

Central baffle
