Default Big City Thunder Monster Baffles

Anyone using them with SEII slip ons?
Are they worth the price?
Sound?

I likem' they've a good sound, very much louder than the SE2 baffles. Bike seems to have a little more getty-up to it. Engine is stock other than exhaust and intake, with no mapping changes. Runs a little rich, but that's better than a little lean and runing hot.

Had them in a 1200 Custom in V&H Short Shots. I thought they were a bit too loud. Also I think they reduce back pressure quite giving alot of decel pop and jake brake sound. Sounds cool and all but I went back to the standard baffles.

I actually felt like I lost a “little” low end “seat of the pants” torque when I installed my BCT baffles. A year later, and of course, I can’t remember and the bike simple hauls ****. My buddy runs no baffles, so I had to do something to my ’06 SEII slip-ons because I could not even hear my exhaust when I rode with him and I could not intimidate him to put his baffles back in. I was getting some additional decel popping with the BCTs, which I had tuned out with the stock SEII baffles, so I increased the VE tables on the 0 map again and it’s better now. The BCT have a nice low end rumble when at idle and crack like crazy when under throttle and when pulling a hill, they’re almost too loud. Do a search on BCT, there’s lots of threads about BCTs.

I've got a pair of 2" TM's I sell you for $50.00. They are still in the box. I ran them for about 15 miles in my bike and decided I wanted to stick with the stock baffles. They are nice, just too loud for me. The rumble is a little deeper with the TM's, which I like. They go for about $90 brand new.
