Baffeled!

Total noobe question here but I figure,,, WHY NOT???

How many of us here have their baffles yanked outta their sleds???

I'm thinking of taking mine out as I like to give people the old,, Let em know I'm here wake up!

I have V & H Big Radius pipes on w/ baffles but I can't help wonder if it's loud enough!!

Sure you can pull them. It might feel faster becuase its louder, but i wont be...

Baffles= backpressure=some(preferably more) is almost always good on a street bike.

I have short shots with no baffles on my NT and in town I love it, I just love how loud it is and how it cackles when I am down shifting to a stop. I took a nice ride with a few other guys out through the country last night on some hilly roads and I was really annoyed at the popping and cackling when I was going down the twisty hills and wanted some assistance from the motor to keep the speed down.

I just get tiered of people not seeing you and I figure maybe it'd be a good way to let em know your around.

When ever i come up on someone pulling out to traffic, and I'm the only obstacle for em, I slow down a bit, pull the clutch in and get em some db's. It seems to be loud enough 50% of the time but never enough.

On the other hand when I'm out with the Mrs. what I have get's to be too much some times.

So, I'm just wondering what everyone here is doing.

I gained power replacing the standard baffles with the BCT QQ's, it sounds a lot better also. Open pipes are only good for WFO racing.

I don't know about HP, but I could tell I was down on torque when I remove mine for an afternoon. I prefer torque to hp with my riding style. Pull them and find out for yourself.
