Default Fuel moto baffle DIY

I didn't want to spend 100.00 on a quiet baffle for my Jack Pot mufflers. I used a wing nut ( 1/4 x 20 and a large washer) to quiet the mufflers a bit. I love the mufflers but on a long trip they get a little loud, the droning. I can replace the washer with something bigger or turn it sideways. Ala snuff or not for hondas of the 60's.

I have jackpot mufflers and was wondering if I could just switch the right and left baffle to make it quieter...the left baffle is not straight through while the right is....I called them up and they couldn't/ didn't give me a straight answer on that...so I just bought the quiet baffle...would have been interesting to try though...

I thought my 4" Jackpots were too quiet, so I went the other direction and bought the competition baffles. I can still hear my music and they sound better IMO.

I love my Jackpots... until about 4 hours into a long haul. When I'm touring I love to be able to pull the quiet baffle out of my saddlebag, slip it in the right muffler, and tone the exhaust down a bit. It is a bit pricey at $100, but Fuel Moto has made it so darn easy to make a quick change in exhaust tone. When I'm at my destination I can pull it out again and enjoy the rumble! This has sold me on their product!

Is that in the head pipe before the slip ons?

Have you tried it? Looks a bit far from the inner pipe, mine are like less than 1" from the baffle and works great.

No that is the end of the muffler. There is a 1/4" x 20 fitting (female) to hold the baffle in. I used an old air cleaner bolt to tie everything together.
