RE: big city thunder baffles
I think an old member of the forum named "Kaduku" installed them on his. Try BCT baffles and his name using the search feature. I think Kaduku is samoan for "me no post here anymore"

RE: big city thunder baffles
I've got them installed in my SE II's.Nice sound,especially at idle.They are plenty loud,but I'm ok with that.Could tell the bike was running a little hotter after the install,re-installed the round full aircleaner cover instead of running the open element and that seemed to richen the mixture up a little and cooled the engine back down.
Good Luck

RE: big city thunder baffles
just put them in.
pretty dern pleased to say the least !!!!!!
you can mount them two ways (little lollipop toward the motor or toward the back). like they say, it's a little higher pitched w/ it further back. but they say that the lolli should be at least 3in from the end (best 4-6). with the hole i currently have, it was only 1 3/4 from the end.
so thought i'd swap them around to check it out and it did make the sound a tiny bit deeper and less loud but the seat of the pants seems a little more power on the low end.
got a map from a really nice person here and i think that is helping a bunch too. still gonna get it tuned but not so much in a hurry now.
so far, i'm pretty happy. hell, i'think it's quicker than w/ the vance baffles. overall, the're definately worth the money as far as i'm concerned.

RE: big city thunder baffles
I put them in after i switched to drag pipes, because my Thunder header bracket broke. The straight pipes made the bike lose all mid range torque, so i put the BCT baffles in and what a difference, got all the torque back, but may have lost a little top end horsepower from straight pipes, but well worth it, definitely worth the money !

Would these things fit in any set of custom drag pipes. There are a lot of cool looking pipes out there that I would never buy because they have no baffles/muffler. If I could pop these in depending on dimensions, I'd do it.
