The previous owner of these CVO mufflers ground the welds to remove the stock baffles and has installed a set of Fullsac Power Core baffles. They come in 3 sizes...1.75" (quietest but great low end torque), 2.00" or 2.25". Black heat shields could be from a newer CVO as I don't recall black heat shields on pre-Rushmore bikes.
It's a well known and nice upgrade that many of us have done. I had a set of the CVO mufflers with 1.75" Power Cores and the Techmat kit on my previous 2012 UC. It was a great combo! In fact I have purchased a set of M8 CVO take offs that I plan to to install the Fullsac baffles in for my current 2020 RGL.
The bolt in this pic (red arrow). I'll take another look in the end, should be able to tell there. They're super clean inside/out like unused. The bike had a V&H Stainless system on it, maybe they changed their minds
yep, definitely a bolt to hold the baffles in. i missed it in the first round of pics you posted. now that i've gone back and looked at them, they just jump right out at ya.... snek!
