You could trade it for a Gold Wing!

Barring that, check with the manufacturer to see if they offer any baffles for your particular model.

Good luck,

Primo

Nope....

Same bike, same pipes = not that loud. I don't even wake my kids when I leave in the morning.

Big City Thunder makes a set of quiet baffles specifically for the Big Radius 2 into 2. They lower the volume approx. 20% and deepen the tone as well.
Part number QBL-1845

How long have you had them on? When I first got mine they were LAF . Then I either lost my hearing or they got quieter, even my neighbors thought they got quieter.

MartyF,

Didi you use he BT quiet baffles?

Are these 20% quieter from the BR original baffles or from the BT baffles?

I had on my 05 night train the V&H short shots with BT baffles and it was loud as hell.

the problem with the EFI that they idle very hi and make a lot of noise at the idle. while riding i don't care.

I've got tired of pulling the bike till the end of the road becouse of my neighbors....[:@]
