Default Reversing the process

I've been reading on this Forums about people that have taken their baffles out and having to rejet their carb or remap for fuel injected. But, what about changing to a different baffle? I have Vance & Hines Big Shots Staggered and had the stock baffles in....not the quite baffles. I recently had a Stage 1 installed and did it when I had the stock baffles in. Yesterday, I installed the quite baffles in order to get a deeper tone and my ears have not quite got used to thesound yet. It sounds very muffled (no pun).

Question is, do I need to rejet my carb? I would think not, but need other's opinions.

Just ride it and check the plugs, If its too rich go down a jet size. If its ok leave it alone.

What am I looking for in the spark plugs....dark color? Dark coloring means too rich?

If the plugs look like there getting black or real dark you need to lean it down till they look light brown or a nice tan color. The best way to check is go for a ride where there is not alot of stop n go's. Ride at a good constant speed then id just shut the engine off and coast to a safe stop.
get your plug wrench out and pull the plugs n check um. If you idel to much on them and then check you will get a bad reading.
