New Baffles
I just installed a set of big city thunder baffles in my SEII mufflers on my bike. Wow what a difference in the sound of the bike. Very deep tone at idle and a great sound when I am rolling into the throttle. The install was pretty easy, the only issue was getting the old baffles out of the SEII mufflers. The trick that I found really help was starting the bike and once the oil temp starting going up I shut it down and the old baffles came right out. Total install time, 30 minutes, if I change back probably less than 10.

No change in performance that I can tell. Seems to still have the same get up and go that it had before. It is much louder and a much deeper tone. I very seldom ever got carb farts and haven't noticed any with the new baffles yet.

RE: New Baffles
Well, Tim twisted my arm, talked me into the Big City Monster Baffles. 
Pricey but very well built and I installed them yesterday (was a piece of cake). Got to try them out today and yup, it sounds different; louder and deeper in tone. Retuning the engine might reveal a performance increase, but without any changes there doesn't seem to be any seat-of-the-pants difference. They're a more straight-through exhaust without the low-end torque loss penalty you get from drag pipes; the SE-II is a pretty well-designed system and while it would appear to be more restrictive, it apparently is not.
I had changed the SE-II AC to a Kurykyn Hi-Five AC and even with readjusting the low-speed jet I started getting carb farts (never had any before). After installing the Monster Baffles the carb farts went away. Why? Beats the heck out of me!
I have to say though, that the "stock" SE-IIs are still darn good sounding and perform well. Darn shame they've been discontinued, and I may still try to corner the market on any that are left out there.
