INSTALL quiet baffles for V&H BSS
Hi
I have just installed a set of Big Shots Staggered on my Fatboy and want to install the Quiet Baffles. I had my dealer put the pipes on but want to put the baffles in myself. Do you remove the tips slip in baffles replace tips and secure the baffles and tips with the same bolt.
Any info would be great.

Remember if you put in the baffels it changes the EFI fuel mix and you need to have the bike reset. I have the V&H FuelPak and it has different settings for baffels as compared to the settings with the baffels out.
I suspect it makes the mix rich as opposed to no baffles which leans out the mix. I am sure it will run fine but I'll bet the mileage will change and the plugs will show signs of running too rich.
Its a simple thing to change the V&H Fuelpak settings. Not so simple if you have the SERT and have to visit the dealer. PC you can set yourself also.

Make sure you want those in there. I put some in and did not like the sound. When trying to get them back out,(the Next day) it was almost impossible.
The packing got all bunched up and I had to destroy both of them trying to get a grip on them to pull them out.
Maby if there was a way to secure the wrapping a little better it would be easier, but I would definalty remove some to make them not as tight in case you want to take them out again.

A little tip I picked up from a wrench..to make them easier to remove if you want to.
wrap them with a bit of saran wrap....yes plastic wrap..the stuff that on there is scotch tape anyway.
Then wipe them down with a bit of pam cooking spray..your choice of flavor
..
It will keep the plastic from melting to the pipe inside and it will turn the plastic a crunchy brown like a cooking bag.
mine smelled like butter flovored for a few minutes
