To make changing baffles easier in the BSS drill some holes on the heat shields to give you access to the baffle screws. When I had my BSS I could change baffles in under 5 mins. The big city baffles didn't decrease the db any. The Quiet baffles reduced it to 98db still too loud so I went to slip ons. I will know if they pass inspection next month. If not then I can easily swap them out for stock pipes to get the inspection. Being stationed in Germany for a third time they didn't care how loud our bikes were in previous years. But now they are checking.

I just installed v & h bss a little on the loud side and seems a little flat in the lower rpm range talked with jim at big city thunder and ordered a set of the qb baffles he said it would help with the flat spot and give the pipes a much deeper tone.
Maybe I just wasted some money but I get them thursday and I'll get back with results. Have a doherty intake ordered too. Guess I'll have to get it remapped after these changes and see what the final results are.

We put the V&H quiet baffles in my wife's sporty unfortunately the day before we traded it. 
It's still got some rumble to it for sure, but it's a really DEEP rumble rather than a blatty rumble if that makes sense. Definitely quieter and sounded 10x better in my opinion.

Just put my quiet baffles in my BSS today. Very easy to do. I will echo what everybody else is saying. The db level is not that much different, but it takes the edge off of the sound. I am very pleased with them.

Installed quiet baffles and they are a little quieter and do have a nicer, deeper note than the stock baffle. But, they were restrictive above 4k rpm's on my bike so I removed them. Not sure if they will be quiet enough for what you need them for. Lowers 2-3 db - not much, but just the deeper sound makes it seem like more.
The pipes MrWonderful mentioned are a lot quieter and HD also used to sell them.

I have a set of V&H's Long shots and purchased the quiet baffles. They sound and perform well for city commuting but I am concerned about loosing power on the upper end. Does anyone know if they can cause any damage if they are too restricting?
