Hey guy's thanks for all the "opinions" they are invaluable. I'm not intimidated with the idea of doing the debaffle I just don't want to f-up my beautiful machine. I think I'll do it today. Again thanks alot for the insights.

You bet!! The only thing I can add to it is you'll need a slide hammer with washers on the end to snatch those ugly ba----ds mufflers out.

My opinion of dealership technicians is this: Most are as young as my own sons, they ride sportbikes (if they ride at all), and they see far fewer Vulcans as they do Ninjas. They also work on PWCs, mules, and dirt bikes. They may know how to perform maintenance procedures, but little else. Most of them just don't have the experience with v-twins/cruisers.

I've enjoyed my debaffled pipes and noticed no difference in performance. Try to find someone close to you that has done it and listen to their bike. I've also heard if you don't like it you can put the baffles back in (don't know if it's true). I guess they have to be welded back in place. I'd be happy to let anyone hear mine that's thinking about doing it, if you're near the Pensacola, FL area. Mine is an 08 1600.

Yeah reg you can put them back in. Welding will work or like another guy on this forum used three or four sheet metal screws.

If you don't mind a new member chiming in... I got the V&H Classic Baggers and was really happy with them. they gave a deeper rumble that I liked. But a near miss got me to slide the baffles out. At first I thought it was just too loud... period. I rode for a day, went home and put them back in. Knowing my nature, I took them out again for another listen, and they still sit in a bag in my garage to this day. I love the sound and I love the turning heads when I start it up. I have had no issues w/ performance whatsoever. |
