whats up
hey whats up fellow hog riders i have a few questions to ask. I have a 05 dyna super glidesport and want to know if its normal when use the front brake that jumps forward like it will grab and not grab and grab again like it has antilock brakes i dont know if bikes have that but i have bled the brakes trying to resolve that but still does it not as bad though any info will be appreciated. Also if i were to pull the baffles out of my screaming eagle pipes to make it louder would it do any damage to the engine or anything or affected the performance of the bike? I guess thats all i got i guess ill get off here and thanks fer the help.

never had that with my brakes as far as the baffles go ,i had mine out but put them back in for the 5000 mile service so as not to void my 7 year warrenty. i guess you lose some mid range torque but i didnt notice any difference

from what i understand if the baffels are removed, you need to put power cones in. They are like a little ventury that will create enough back pressure to keep you from having power loss. I just put some in my bike yesterday and will test them out tomarrow morning, otherwise ive been running my straight pipes for several years with out anything and no problems

Ya buddy the torque cones really help i have straight i made and the cones really do make a diff. you kinda need the back pressure of the bottom, hense the "drag pipe" there just that WFO throttle there great no restriction and fast but if you ride in town and stuff like that its nice to have that torque. i think you wouldnt notice takin baffles out cuz yer smilin too much cuz of the new sound. i thought my built pipe were good but then a week later and about 500miles i dropped the cones in....and let me tell you there was a noticable differance. check your brake pads they sound wore out or maybe the pad broke off the plate and thats causing the late grab???? does it help or grab quiker if you pump them?? i say its the pads if you've already bleed the line, or the line is goin to sh*t and flexin too much check it as well.
