with those baffles you got off ebay. Get some muffler packing material and stainless steel ty raps to hold the packing around the baffle to get a tight fit inside the pipes. The less air that gets around the baffle, the better it will sound. I did this for my baffles from big city thunder and have well over 3000 miles on the new baffle setup and the muffler packing material is still right where I put it.
I was just going to ask that question. Will the baffles deepen the sound? I have stage ones with the baffles removed but I've noticed power loss. How do you pack the exhaust?
Just curious if you got the K&N air filter with the stage one? If your gonna invest in anything I would go with a fuel controller. I bet you would see a difference in power and probably fuel mileage. ...Nice bike!
Thanks for the info. I used this video to remove my baffles. All went well except for using the bearing puller attachment and slide hammer to remove the baffles. They were so stuck in there that the bearing puller couldnt get them out. So i had to remove the muffler pipes and go in from the other side and use a strong metal pipe and a 4 lb hammer to hammer the baffles out. Also, in my opinion, the stage 1 straights made my bike sound pathetic. My friends asked if if the bike was actually running when i pulled up LOL. baffle removal made it sound loud and MEAN. No way im putting those baffles back in there. Ive not tuned it to the new pipes yet, but i wonder if that will further affect the sound.
Nice video! I have a 2016 victory gunner with the stocks. My stage ones should be here in a few days. Have you tuned the bike yet? How has the bike been since install? I’m deciding whether to get it tuned.
Hey unfortunately, I wouldn't really know. The bike had the stage one straights with a tune on them before I got it. Since the baffle removal, I have not gotten it tuned, nor do I think it really needs one. I don't notice really any difference in performance.
Those are the 1 1/4 inch Loball bars in the 10 inch height. Made by Dean Speed Customs. They have a good online store. The dude is awesome. I went with the 10inch so I didn't have to replace cables. It's tight but works well.
Can you make a video of the sound difference with baffles in and out? I have the HB-2015 Stage 1 like you but i want to make it a bit louder than it already is. I cant find a video anywhere with the difference in sound with these pipes. Nice bike :)
I appreciate the vid. But how are you gonna do all that and not start the bike?

I have since added the K&N. Thanks! No fuel controller yet though.

Any info on the bars you put on there? Are they the highball bars with risers? Did you need to extend any cables?

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it brother.@@taylishious
ps; What are those on your bars, look like trigger locks for a gun lol@@taylishious
Ha ha yes they do. They are quick connectors for a windshield. @@NorthSwing
What’s your opinion on the BCT Monster Baffles? I am thinking about getting the x-bow stage 1 for my 8 Ball and maybe putting them inside the pipes.
I haven't had experience with them, but I hear they're badass.
Great Vid. Does she crank over and fire up ok without the baffles?
Yep. Everything appears to work just fine.
Thanks for the video. What bars are those?
Those are the 10 inch Dean Speed Low Ball 1-1/4 in. Diameter bars. Absolutely love them but I might sell them and go with taller ones.
Can you make a video of the sound difference with baffles in and out?

Nice bike :)
Sorry, I haven't been able to do this. To tell you the truth, I don't know if I have the baffles anymore.
Hey man! Where'd you get those crash bars?
Hey, They came on the bike when I bought it. I was told they are factory bars that were installed at the dealership.
Hey buddy. Do you have the link or name of baffles, you can get on eBay? I can't find them. Would appreciate the help if you could.Sincerely.

I haven't tried them yet though. I haven't even looked at them to know if they would fit to be honest.
