Default New Baffles

Just put some V&H quiet and Smart Partz hard kore baffles in my staggered Big Shots and man does it make a difference! The stock baffles were pretty harsh.

Anybody else do this? Wondering about tuning. This was my concern with buying an EFI bike and not being able to do all the work myself.

What bike did you put this stuff on? What other mods? We can't give you an informed response without more information.

05 FLSTCI. V&H Big Shots Staggered. I believe it's got an MPS fuel manager but the label is gone. I just got the bike. Previous owner said its all stock but I got the maintenance records from the dealership and there's a TFI install on there. Doesn't specify brand though. Stage 1 intake.

If you have a fuel manager on it already, you probably don't need to mess with it. If you have the TFI on it, they are super easy to adjust if you think you need to. Go to the Dobeck website to get an idea of what to look for under the seat and adjustment procedures. Had one on mine til I went with bigger cams. Loved it. Not familiar with the MPS system. Biggest issue you will notice with your set-up is decel popping, but with baffles in there, that should be mostly taken care of. Check your plugs for lean (white) fuel conditions and go from there.
