Just order the cholos with the removable tips and removable baffles. Same price. That way you have the option to go either way. I like mine without the baffles so much that I haven't even considered putting the baffles in. You won't get any quality sound clips of those pipes because it sounds nothing like they do in person. The Samson website has soundclips and you can't even tell the difference. But if you go with the removable tips like I did, I'm pretty sure you'll keep the baffles out.

Hey, I notice in these pictures from Rocker_Dan that the one bike has the chrome tear drop tool box on the left side of his bike and he is also running cholos. I had enquired about that a few months ago and I was told I couldn't mount one on the left side because I was also going to be putting cholos on mine too, it must be doable then, right? Is there a special or different mounting bracket needed or will it just mount right up? I have already gone and got one for the right side, I would have rather had it on the left though. If it will work I may just have one on each side now that I already have got the one for the right side. Thanks in advance for an answer.
What you were advised in that former thread was that the left side toolbox could not be installed at its expected location. That is because the crossover pipe coursing behind the primary would be in the way. It didn't mean you couldn't install the toolbox elsewhere. Heck, you can install it on your handlebars with the correct bracket. For you, installation on the swingarm may be ideal since you rarely, if ever, use your saddlebags. It isn't an option for me since I ride with my saddlebags on the Heritage all the time.

Did the springer come black up front or did you powdercoat it?
What color you gonna spray her down with? I liked the wine color, you dont see alot of those colored bikes around.
