Are those the 9" carbon ovals? If so I have them and I'm very pleased with them. Check the baffel screws from time to time.

Sounds good. With the baffles in is a bit more of a bass sound and less treble. I might take mine out for thunder in the valley.

That would be a good opportunity to do comparison vids.
I know that even something as simple as wrapping can make a big difference in sound coming from the pipes. Removing the baffles completely should make for a huge change in sound! (tone and volume both)

Might put the baffles in if its gonna make it deeper, they go in from the back right? Need to take the cans off the fit them?
 
Baffles in boys

Much better imo

I don't know... kinda has more of a bark without the baffles I think.

Best judge I'd say is if there is any performance difference between the two

As for myself, I found a real nice travel bag that would go nicely on my luggage rack. Perfect for my trip this summer
 
Went and bought a few things. A new Memphis Shades Malibu windshield. Lights which will be my new front turn signals & running lights, and a travel bag that straps to the back rest. Also ordered the Vista Cruise, which I shall have with any luck on Friday.

The very first steps of Project: TourMax have been taken!

This is the bag I bought. Normally goes for $260, but I got it for just a hair over $60.

Install new led head light bulb, I have not check it at night yet. Low seem a little but low install - bulbs side by side hook up to the battery seems brighter. High is very brighter... I pick them up off of amazon.com

The amp draw is a lot lower than the stock type bulbs. Most of my lights are leds now. My volts now with all lights brake light and the fan running - 14.3..

I made this little rod tool for my stock shocks adjustments...

When I bought the bike a few years ago half the exhaust packing was gone towards the head pipe. I had some exhaust rap light over so I used it to rap my baffle I was shock to see still intact.. I bought 60 feet header rap off amazon.

Kinda pissed ended up cracking my top clamp when I was tightening it. Then ripped my new thottle grip. Tried to use lithum spray to lube it, still fought like hell.. Well maybe next week. It will be straight...About the only things left is better headlight bulb, currently running dual lights, Jet kit, and highway pegs...For not putting money into the bike in the past, I have caught up quick this year....Just as long as my wife doesn't know I'm good....lol
