Well the Lo is proving it's worth this week. My trucks been in the shop for a transmission issue and now it won't be done until Monday so the Lo is my only ride. 2800 bucks to rebuild the stupid thing. What sucks worse is that I barely drive it. Hopefully it doesn't affect my Lo parts budget too bad.

Taking money from the Lo fund...


The truck became jealous from not being driven. Take her out once and a while .Tell her you still love her and buy her a nice oil change she will once again become happy.

Very cool.
New parts are always a good thing.

Nope, the instructions specifically said for the V&H 2 n 2 that they needed to go deeper. I took a tip from a forum user and made a "pulley" type install thingy.


Holes drilled at 6"

Routed the string and tied a washer on the end to pull it to the right location

Inserted a small screw driver to hold the baffle in place and then removed the string.

Peek-a-boo!

FatBob, I did run the stock V&H baffles for about 2 weeks. The BCT baffles have that deeper lovelier sound IMHO.

Youtube video of it.

I know this is after the fact, but someone else might benefit from this:

3 Piece Folding Star Bit, SAE/Metric Hex Keys

The Torx/Star has the ever elusive T-27 in it. Fits great in my handlebar tool bag. All for $6.99
