Nope, the instructions specifically said for the V&H 2 n 2 that they needed to go deeper. I took a tip from a forum user and made a "pulley" type install thingy.
Holes drilled at 6"
Routed the string and tied a washer on the end to pull it to the right location
Inserted a small screw driver to hold the baffle in place and then removed
FatBob, I did run the stock V&H baffles for about 2 weeks. The BCT baffles have that deeper lovelier sound IMHO.
Youtube video of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-vjS-2jvTE

One thing I found out about these baffles (in the instructions) is that they are reversible. If you put the "bulls eye" the opposite way (toward the motor) , it will change the torque range to mid to high end. I haven't tried it yet. I like the low end to mid it currently has.

I would like to thank Sgt Jim for his post many moons ago about using the old oil filter as the puck for the scavenger process. I finally did it this week. It went without a hitch. In some thread someone pointed out that Sears sells a AC/Fuel line quick disconnect kit to be used to remove the oil return line. It was $8 and worked great.
Found an old Drain Cleaner container to measure the output.
This is why this thread and forum is so great. Total cost $13.

In lighter news, it has rained on every available day I've had to ride. Bike is sitting peacefully in her new home (my new garage), but the peacefulness needs to stop. darn it.

Heat shields went on just fine w/ red Loctite on the fasteners, no problem.
