BCT Baffles?? Any info on performance
I went to the website, but I am a bit apprehensive about reading what the sellers say. I would love to hear what REAL current owners of the BCT Baffles have to say. Especially for V&\\;H Big Radius.
 \\;BTW What BCT's would fit on the Big Radius. ??

I don't have any hard data on performance (baffles were instaled same time as pipes)\\; however, the sound is great and bike has plenty of power. I'd say they are worth the $ for the sound alone.

Thanks guys! Really appreciate the input. Sounds like these would work better for me than just the pipes without baffles. Price is a bit steep but seems like their worth it.

Just installed the QQ BCT Baffles for the V&\\;H BR 2-2. Love the sound! Deeper and sharper than stock. Especially when you roll the throttle. Worth the money IMHO.

Pooh,

Glad to hear you like the QQ's. \\; Any feedback as far as fuel map changes, performance changes, etc. \\; Are they louder than stock or just deeper and richer? \\; These are on my list and may put off me buying a new set of pipes so I am anxious to hear your input.

At idle they are quieter/softer, with an occasional blurp, it's a good blurp though. The old HD blurp IMO. 
Went on a short ride today, yes, love the sound. Louder and deeper, but not obnoxious. Sounds like what I think a Harley should sound like. I don't care who all hates the V&H BR, it is my favorite pipe and best looking set on most bikes. I am not changing pipes but wanted a different sound. I installed these along with a set of SE 204's this week. It is getting a dyno tune tomorrow, will have results tomorrow evening. I am running a SERT and SE AC. Even with no tuning, cam change was very noticeable at idle and running through the gears....put baffles in 2 days later and it was running better. I could get by without any mapping changes, but I have a credit at the dealer that will cover the dyno tune. I'm sure I will notice some improvement as I was probably too lean with the new cams. There was no popping before or after the changes. The baffles sound beefy on a steady cruise and will get everyone's attention when you roll it on.

Cool, I am hoping to just stick these in and not have to adjust my fuel map. \\; I had the regular TM's and I felt like the bike was out of tune a bit so I sold them to Marsh, but with the design of these, I'm thinking I may not have to change anything. \\;

I have them in my BR and had it dynoed before and after. There are no performance gains. BUT the bike is louder without the loss of any torque. That is the key. Open pipe sound without torque loss.
