Rinehart Baffles Replacement
Here's a dumb question that should be easy to answer.
Getting ready to replace my stock baffles with the 2 inch quiet baffles in my Rinehart true duals. How do I remove the old and install the new? Just remove the end caps and pull? Also, which end of the new baffle goes in first, the venturi end?
No instructions in the box and no screw holes in the baffles, so I'm guessing the end caps must hold these in place, right?

exactly. Press fit at the front of the baffle, end cap's are machined inside which hold the rear of the baffle. Putt

RE: Rinehart Baffles Replacement
Just had them installed in my Rinehardts. The mechanic said it will actually help the power curve on my 95" motor. Who knows. I really could not hear that much of a difference. I am told they sound the same at idle and when you roll the throttle. But when you arecrusing, it will be quieter. It did sound a little quieter going down the road.
The flanged end goes in first. I had to have the mechanic redo mine because they rattled when you gave the bike throttle. He had to open the flange up more to make it a stug fit. The other end sits in the end piece on the Rinehardts.

RE: Rinehart Baffles Replacement
Thanks, TBone, but think mine must be different since they don't have a flange on either end. Did yours have a venturi on either end, and if so, which way did the venturi go -- toward the front or back?

RE: Rinehart Baffles Replacement
To be honest, I am not sure what a venturi looks like. But I know my baffel was straight and did not have a curve or bottle neck. Another thing, my mechanic said he had to cut my baffel down to fit. Sounds like I might have gotten a wrong product. It was in Drag Specialties magazine.

Wish Bub had an arrow or something etched on the outside to make it a little less confusing. Of course, I haven't yet removed the stock baffles, and they may look the same, so that may answer my question for me.
Anyway, thanks for the feedback, TBone.
