throttle lag after removing baffels
Is there a way to fix the throttle lag you gat after removing the baffels from your pipes? I have V&H long shots and I love the sound with the baffles removed but have issues with throttle lag/ hesitation now that the baffels have been removed. Luckily they just bolt in and out.

I'm not sure on this, but because there is no back pressure you get that 'lag' that your talking about. I dont think there is a solution, only to have baffles. I'm sure you probably already know, but Big City Thunder has some monster baffles that I personally, and a lot of others on this forum have and love. You get that awesome sound, and dont loose any back pressure (well I didnt on my short shots).

Is this a fuel injected bike or carbed?
If it's FI, you need to put the baffles back in. If you don't like the sound, buy A) new exhaust or B) different baffles such as Big City Thunder baffles.

Long shots here with a set of BCT Monster Baffles. Very happy with that set-up. Gave the sound I wanted without being a turd on low end.
You'll probably need to re-jet even with the BCT as there really isn't much to them...

Cut the middle out of your baffles then weld the two ends back together. Bolt them back in.
I'm surprised you like the sound with them out. I took the baffles out of my longshots for about 1/2 an hour, then put them back it because I though it sounded like ***.
