i too am curious how baffles out is effecting the EFI. i have a 1200C as well. im using rush slip ons and was told i needed the back pressure from the baffles... i have about 1500 miles on mine, and i just got it the first week in jan. keep riding bro!!!
removing the baffles affects the torque output. no baffles less torque , you might pick up a couple of horse power at wide open trottle , but in reality your sacrificing torque to make racket.

That's a real shame....my '06, which has a carb., didn't change at all when I removed the baffles....don't know what the difference would be. Are you talking about a lot of difference in torque, or just enough you can notice if you try real hard?

Day one for me, 90KM (50 miles), snow is just melting but had to ride it anyway, got it pretty dirty as you can see but I don't care I think I'll enjoy washing it almost as much as riding it. 2007 1200 Roadster.

I like the color. I'm with ebleagle...when ya gonna ride the thing?

I'm not sure the 1K service was done in 2 weeks, but I know the temp tags were still on the bike. But I also bought in later Spring. 13,000 miles as of yesterday.

GOTTA get some tires!!

I talked to my Harley tech about baffles removed. Since it is an OBDII system, a variance in the pipe flow won't effect it that much and the computer will compensate for it. If the A/C is changed, it opens up a bag of worms and the race download is required. I found no lost of torque or power what so ever. If anything I gained alittle. I can't beleive the dealer already has my plates! I won't be able to pick them up until Monday. My bud has a 06.My 07seems to be a little quicker. I guess it depends on the rider. BTW, I broke 100. I hope to break 1000 as soon as I can. I'm going to ride everyday until I get to 1000. My next long bike ride is in June to Arkansas.

I would like to see more picks of that color.
Some shots in the daylight of the tank.
If you can get around to it.
