Should have done that, but I would have thought it would have burned off after 14K miles, but guess not.

the V&H have the pull out silencer with the two screws underneath so the whole lot comes out in one go, but way too loud to keep it as it was,made my ears blead nearly lol
and my RKC has got 46k on her so didnt want to mess around with baffles etc and just buy some Fish Tails like these

Check out the following from a few days ago post #4 in particular.
Seems that those fish can have bite worse than their bark.

I am not a big fan...but I think they look good on certain bikes. I think that they would work on yours.
