You'll have to mess with something I think. Harleys like at least a little back pressure to run right. You'll lose a little on the low end as well. Being a carb, it may be different from my EFI but, mine didn't run worth a **** til I put minimal baffles in my Longshots.

I could've swore the OP was asking for insight into pulling the baffles and what tuning requirements that might entail, not some hate from a closed minded purist. Go rattle someone else's chain. Sheesh.

QC,02, Don't you love narrow minded people with no imagination who's only contribution to a thread is criticism.
Gees He should start his own thread of projects he did not do.

I would not start a thread about ruining machines, and if anyone cant take a comment then they certainly should not put their stuff on a internet forum, get real,
im sure there is a few derelicts that will like the crap, and anyone commenting on my short shots? they work fine, its not like i tried molesting a bike and throwing something stupid on it and calling it kool like some of these forums are full of....
