I'm a bit new here so pardon my ignorance. I just got my 09 Heritage about a month ago. I love the bike and couldn't be more pleased with my selection.
It has V&H Stagger on it without baffles. I love the sound and there's little doubt that a Harley's going down the road, however it's a bit loud. If I install baffles will I need to have it re-tuned or can I just install them and go?
It would be very helpful to know a little bit more about the bike. Does it already have a stage 1 set-up to begin with?
Pipes (obviously)
Free-flow air filter ?
Any air/fuel management devices?
A little loud,,!!! they've got to be almost obnoxious. Just riding behind or to the right of my sons BR's 2-2 (with baffles) about blows my eardrums if he gets on it..
And no, U wont need to retune her. plus U should have a little more TQ in the lower half of Ur rpms...
Thats good... and Ur neighbors will like U better if U leave early or come in late.
