Baffles...help
Of all the stupid things, I cut the cloth around the baffles off....I just never thought that would go in the exhaust. Anyways, no I am putting it back on....do I have to use special tape, something that doesn't melt? Won't that fabric get very hot? Can I still put them up after they were cut with a scissors??

I did the same thing... don't feel bad. However, I decided to try them without, and they work just fine. It quieted the pipes down just a little, but enough for me. Also gave that good pitch, so I decided to leave them alone.

RE: Baffles...help
Cam,
I really love them... I've been riding with the Sport Tour lately, trying to get it broken in before the wife joins me for a long ride, and I've logged a 200 mile and 150 mile ride on it so far and it is extremely comfortable and well-made. I've got some back issues that have been giving me a lot of problems lately, but haven't had any issues while riding the longer distances.
Now I've gotta put the Solo on and get some more miles on it...
Have fun!

So you've got 2 of their seats. Thats great. I'm considering the Sport Tour. My wife doesn't mind the stock seat, but I don't like it much at all. Has your wife ridden on the new seat yet? What does she think?

RE: Baffles...help
She's only gone for a quick ride on it so far, so I can't give her impression yet... sorry. I didn't mind the stock seat, until I went for a longer ride and my butt started to feel it. I also saw posts indicating that the stock seats tended to rub the fender, and I certainly didn't want that.
