Default Rienhart clanking Help???

My 2002 Ultra has a Rienhart true dual system. When i cold start the bike the left side makes a loud clanking sound until the pipe warms up. Sounds like it is inside the muffler. Any ideas?

No doubt that the baffle is loose. Once it warms up and swells the baffle tightens up in place. Take the baffle out and recrimp the end of it in three spots. Re-install and try it out. Worked for mine
