I am planning on installing a set of Rush Slip-Ons. My quandary is choosing between 1.75” baffles or 2” baffles. If I go with 2” baffles how difficult would it be to hear the radio? Any feedback would be appreciated.
I started out with the 1.75's and went down to the 1.5's and thought those had all the sound I needed without bothering others. I had someone else ride my bike so I could hear what they are like to others, and they sounded good. I don't have a sound system on my 08 EGS so can't be much help there. But I'm guessing I wouldn't go to the 2.0's.
I heard one of those two sizes "pops" allot more often more then the other for some reason? Do some forum research on it. I am pretty sure it's those mufflers.
2" baffles in my Rush slip-ons......we can still hear the music
at above hiway speeds, and can talk to eachother without
hollering.
Absolutely no popping on decel........
I have the 'baloney-cut' (slash out), which makes them
even more out of the ordinary, cause I don't want to
sound / look like every other bike out there.
I have the 2" Rush baffles on my 08 StreetGlide and I definitly get the decel popping, was told that the 1.75 will get rid of this. I can hear the stereo up to about 85MPH before I really have to crank it up. I like the sound, not too loud but sometimes the decel popping does get on my nerves.
