Decided to remove the baffles from my V&H big radius pipes. After a day they are back in! Sounded great and idle but every time I would pull in the clutch is sounded like crap, like unburnt gasses rumbling. It did feel like the bike ran better though even with a little low end loss.

The bottom baffle came right out but the top is another story. I looked at post on getting it out and the many ideas but found a really easy way to remove it.

Take the screw that holds the baffle in the pipe and screw it into the mount tab from inside the baffle after putting a piece of metal ( 1" wide and 4"long with a hole for the screw to go threw) between the tab and screw. Clamp a pair of vice grips to the metal and tap with a hammer. Out in less than a minute and it was really stuck in there to begin with.

Live and learn . Might need to go with big city next

 

Wouldn't that really affect the back pressure? I wouldn't think that'd be the best idea, taking out the baffles, but I could be wrong.

 

If you want a louder sound than stock baffles try the big City thunder baffles. Should be easy since you are now a baffle removing pro!

I just installed my thunder monster baffles and I think they sound sweet! I'm a new fan of em

 

I just installed them also. I'm getting used to them.

 

Will order them when these is a few extra bucks around. Until then....

 

I thought it was Delaware , but I was wrong once before.

 

I removed my baffles and then I also decided to put them back. I was thinking of going the Big City route, but I decided to try something. I cut them down to 5 inches then reinstalled them. I must say good cheap idea. Sounds great and still got low end.

 

Big city monster baffles made my screamin eagles sound like they should.

 

The previous owner of my bike had removed the baffles. Fortunately the seller sent me a box of take offs from the bike that included the baffles. I put them back in and it sounds and runs much better.
