I purchase a 2012 ultra classic with rush mufflers the owner said they were big louies and the measure almost 4 inchs but the baffle is held in with 2 screws. I have been looking to upgrade from the 2 inch baffles to the 2 1/2 inch baffles however the pics of replacement baffles have 1 retaining screw and are shaped differently is it possible the mufflers aren't big louies and a maybe a diffent rush muffler...they have the rush imprint on them

 

Lots of Harley dealers carry Rush in the stores. Might be best to go have the parts guy take a look at them for you.

 

Call Rush

 

Rush has fabulous customer service. Mine have one ( 1 ) bolt retaining the baffles.

 

I have Rush Big Louies on my 2010 - two screws, not one. But as mentioned, I'd call Rush; they've been very pleasant to work with.

 

Just got off the phone with 'Catfish' at Rush - 866-994-7874. I had another question - while talking to him, i read your question? He was confused? Their baffles all have 2 screws. BTW - i have 2.5 and i would like a little More sound. Catfish suggested before i spend the $$ on 3" - take out my 2.5 and cut off the packing - little more sound with having to change anyThing on the bike. Call that number and ask for Catfish - Adam is good but i like catfish better - post what you find

 

just for grins, went to the Rush web site and baffles sections... Have NO idea what 15 series fits but found this on one of their baffles and this may be where some of the confusion is coming from



Fits 15 Series
MSRP - $89.95
Fits 15 Series Double Bolt
Single Bolt available upon request



155012DB = 1.50" Baffle & Mat Kit
153412DB = 1.75" Baffle & Mat Kit
152012DB = 2.00" Baffle & Mat Kit
152215DB = 2.25" Baffle & Mat Kit
152515DB = 2.50" Baffle & Mat Kit

 

The advice to call Rush is correct. They will tell you which part # you need for the 2 1/2" baffle. They may recommend a different size. I had slash downs and swapped them out for 3 1/2" with caps (See below). Real nice quality, sound and easy to swap baffles later. Good luck to you.

 

FWIW ... I just went out in the garage to confirm my last statement. I have Rush 15303 series ( Straight Cut At the End ) Mufflers that I purchased new in 2009, and the baffles are DEFINITELY held in with one ( 1 ) bolt near the outlet ( back side ) of the muffler.

 

very interesting,,, as in one of my posts above - series 15 can be one or two bolts??
