hi
I also got a pair of tapered cycle shack slip ons on my 2009 Rocker. Would love to see pictures on how these 1" baffles where mounted and also how these dk inserts where mounted and what solution you liked best.

My stock mufflers only lasted two weeks before they were removed and replaced with Cycle Shack slash-cut slip ons. Baffles-in. Months later added the SE air cleaner and tuned with a PV2.

Honestly I'll likely go Rush slip ons as soon as I can afford it. I was too lazy to remove the cycle shacks and drill the mounting holes on the inside to hide the bolts. I just rolled the bike down onto the crash bar and drilled up from the bottom. I went for a ride yesterday and they are still loud at idle and starting out but quiet right down at cruising speeds. I think it's a great mod to quiet the pipes down. I used the same hole and just bought some stainless hardware to mount the ebay 1" baffles previously. Those take away even more sound but were a little quieter than I wanted. I do wish they were a little deeper sounding like a larger diameter pipe, but again for $150 it's like a sore peter...can't beat it! Now on another note I touched my damn plastic rain pants on the muffler when it was raining the other day. Any suggestions to remove the rubber from the pipe?

Triple 0 steel wool and Goof Off solvent.

Works better when the mufflers are hot. If there's a lot of material, scrape most when hot with a piece of wood, popsicle stick or something like that.

I also found that Mother's Mag and Aluminum polish will remove the heat discoloration ('blueing'? but is golden at first...)

No way in HELL would I touch chrome with steel wool. A nickle (yes the coin) and some time. A nickle will not scratch the chrome, steel will.
