Default 2005 Fatboy Anniversary Edition

Can anyone tell me if both mufflers on a 2005 Fatboy have baffles in them as my top stock shotgun pipe has nothing in it and the bottom pipe does. I just recently bought this bike and was wanting to find this out. Thanks to anyone who can help............Al

I would imagine that they SHOULD both have baffles. Maybe the top was pulled out for sound?

I will have to dig out my old pipes. I think I know where they are. I am sure they both had baffles in them.

dont meen to hijack this thread but did any of your 15th Anniversary Editions come with any other medallions or emblems on it other than the sticker on the tank?

I bought mine used and it only had the tank stickers with it on.

My bros 15 anniversary Fatboy has a gold badge on the tank, but he has the silver metal flake bike. And it has the 95 inch kit...

I think you lost your baffle, time for upgrades!!! Do you have slipons or stockers? If you have slipons it would be easy to see if you lost your baffle by checking to see if the retaining bolts are still in the holes that the baffles bolt to. I know my bros stock mufflers are welded in and if you have screamin eagles they will be bolted in.

Conroskie, your avatar is ....... wow!

You are right up the road from me. I am in Lake in the Hills.

I looked at my stock mufflers and both have baffles that are NOT removeable and there are no holes for retaining bolts. My Screamin Eagle II slip ons have removeable baffles.
I have no other badges etc on my bike other than the tank sticker.
