RE: removing baffles?
You guys are the best, I'll be sure to post a thread, "Donations, Fines 2B Paid!"
Maybe I'll take them out tonight. I think they are removable ('97 XLH1200).

RE: removing baffles?
Came across this, is it true?
"The stock exhaust pipes are rather restrictive, although they are not nearly so bad as many people think. Simply drilling a 1 to 1.5 inch hole through the baffles of the stock Harley pipes makes about 93% as much horsepower as the best pipes, and more horsepower than a rather embarrassing number of after market pipes."

RE: removing baffles?
Wouldn't removing baffles, or drilling holes in them, and/or changing the air cleaner require re-jetting or re-timing? Just curious...
