Replaced my Rush-2" Baffles slip-on with the same Rush-2" baffle. I just love the sound, the 2" has more of that base tone, I messed up the chrome.
Why the same? It is my daily driver, and I work in a office so I do (did) wear dress pants, I just bought polyester and sure enough as soon as I touched the pipes it melted a hole in the pants and put it on the pipe. By the time I got home (20 miles on city streets) it was good and baked on. I tried everything to get it off and finally took a torch to it. It came off but made a discoloration on the pipe. Who wants to ride with a chrome blemish. I had to point to it to show the wife but to me it was an eye soar. Now I will wear jeans and change at the office to be safe and I am sure not look so geeky.

Blue Job should take it out. It takes some elbow grease but it works well for heat discoloration. Post a pic and I'll let you know how it compares to my old pipes I used it on.

Great story. Not the kind you hear a lot on these kind of forums. Polyester and all.
Installed a Kuryakyn Road Thunder Stereo on the bars. I wanted the wires hidden, so we removed the tank and ran the harness out of sight. This unit is blu tooth and is not as hideous as having the two big round speakers on the bars. This thing is surprisingly loud with good sound. I have not had a chance to road test it yet, as the weather here sucks right now.
