My bike had the Big Radius 2 into 2 on it when I bought it. A neighbor (and Road King pilot) noted that my bike was really loud and thought I have no baffles. Looking up the pipe, it looks like there is something there, but it isn't too substantial. Does anyone have a photo of what I should see up there? As an aside, I had a bit of decel pop prior to installing a Arlen Ness Big Sucker and a V&H FuelPak. Now I have less pop, and an occasional backfire between 1st and 2nd gear. I also noticed a good boot in the seat with the new A/C and Fueler.

that bottom baffle gave me arthritis getting it out of there! WD40, hours of patience and a set of large tin snips w/ hammer....lol...eventually it came out and I was amazed it did.....needless to say, they wont be going back in there. Good luck just stay peristent...brute force will get them out.
