I'm trying to swap the baffles on my Python slip-ons. I've removed the two screws securing the baffle to the muffler body, but the f***ing things won't budge. Anyone here have any tips on getting these things out?
I feel pretty stupid for posting this. It shouldn't be this difficult, should it?
I dont remember having any trouble with removing the baffles on my Pythons.
But I am thinking it was within the mo. after I put them on new. NOT a pleasant
sound and they went right back in. The baffle was just a rolled piece of metal that
was sort of swedged into another rolled metal. MAYBE try to put some light oil
and roll the muffler around.....Tenn.Vol.
These mufflers have only been on the bike for a couple of weeks since I bought them brand new. I doubt if it could be carbon buildup that soon.
I'm trying to swap in the quiet baffles in place of the stock ones. I may just admit defeat and have the local shop swap them for me.
