Default REMOVE BAFFLES???

I have a 2007 Road King custom with SE AC (no remap) and Rush slip-ons. I removed the baffles and like the sound but will this damage the bike at all?&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Also would adding the "tunable thumbscrew" in the slip ons help or not? Really confused, ...now I am reading about XIED's VS. buying a PC III.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Do I need any of it or should I just put the baffles back in and be happy?

You needed a fuel modifier when you installed the A/C and pipes.&nbsp\\; You destroyed the performance of the bike when you removed the baffle and as far as tuning that EFI without baffles....I don't think so....not even with the magical tunable thumb screw you mentioned. Be smart and put the baffles back in.&nbsp\\;

you should probably do yourself a favor and either take it to someone that can fix it for you the RIGHT WAY, or sell it.. Because you are most likely going to kill yourself on it.. Or hurt the bike in a bad way.
