your bikes already running lean. I personally would go with some xied's or in your case I believe its ViED's ? over the stage 1 download

Your bike will probably run fine with the baffles out but by lowering the AFR it will run even better

Thanks, I contacted vance and Hines about their fuelpak. Think I'll go that route.

I think you have cats in your head pipes on that model. They will keep the noise level down so if you need it louder after the baffle removal, that would be the next thing to deal with.
