I have Vance and Hines Ovals on my 03 FLTRI. The right side rattles making me believe it may be the baffles. Is this an easy changeout?

Thx!

 

Thats an easy fix and very common problem with V&H ovals. Remove the baffle and give it a tap with a hammer on the end that slides furthest in the muffler body. You just have to out of round it slightly to tighten the fit. This will fix your problem with zero cost, and I got the information from a tech at V&H and it worked.

 

Thx Rideon..will try it! I guess I just have to remove the 2 screws and pull out the baffle?

 

Hopefully if your lucky, spray some lube on the screws from the inside and most likely take the muffler off and tap the baffle out. Good luck.

 

Thx...appreciate the 411!

 

An update (Rideon), I called VH in L.A. today telling them about the rattling noise in my right muffler. I also told them I had 10k miles on the mufflers. Guess what, they're sending me a whole new baffle! Free! Just want to pass this info on. Great customer service!

 

I hope that fixes your problem, if the baffle slides in too loose do the trick I suggest and all will be good. When I was having problems with my V&H ovals I grabbed a brand new muffler off the shelf at a shop, shook it and it rattled too!

 

Damn that sucks...I hope it works, thx again!
