They are not bent, it’s the GoPro setting. But yes no one saw that. Good eye! 🤙

@@texasharleyrider7424 right on, glad to hear you weren't riding around like that! Where are you at in Texas?

About 2.5 hours north of DFW, by Wichita Falls.

@@texasharleyrider7424 Texas is a trip. Most people don't realize just how vast it really is. I'm centex/hill country; you're about 5 hours north of me.

@@TXRed1836 Right on. Thats down around the twisted sisters area I think?

Well, there are a few reasons such as reducing the higher pitches which is mostly what these do, some use them for some added back pressure which will give a bit of torque back when they do not want to run a 2 to 1 pipe. Some people prefer performance over loud exhaust, which while it isn’t a lot, no baffles will reduce low end but can also increase high end. I’m a firm believer that it’s not what you buy, but what you build. It’s all subjective, do what you want. As long as someone is on 2 wheels and living life, I’m not going to shame them for liking something I do not. Ride safe and thanks for the comment 🤙

@@markdurham252 No. The only time you need to upgrade the O2 sensors is when you add the target tune system. It uses the wide band sensors.

Actually had a flat earlier this week during a ride. Nothing happened other than being stranded for a bit. This was on a a tubeless. I removed it and took to the dealership with my new tire and it had changed. I looked in the tire once removed, and it had changed to a brownish color and the consistency was very thin. I assume mixed with condensation.

Sounds good man, glad I could help 🤣

I put them in a set of big radius as well. I’m not sure which side of the fence you stand as far as the plastic wrap goes. But, people kept telling me I’m supposed to leave it on. Well, I did that and will never make that mistake again. Went to remove them after a week or so, and the bond created on the pipe and fiberglass made them a major pain to remove. Once removed, there was a ton of the fiberglass left inside the pipe. So just my 2 cents 😂. Thanks for the comment, and ride safe 🤙

@@texasharleyrider7424 Ah yeah everything I've seen so far says to leave it on and it'll burn off, but I may remote it beforehand just to avoid that issue. Thanks for the heads up.

@@texasharleyrider7424 got the baffles out today, holy hell they were a pain. Not sure when they were installed but definitely they were all kinds of seized up. My quiet baffles should be in tomorrow and I can bolt everything back up.

@@Bearleaux Yeah, they can be a pain, especially with the curve in them. Let me know how you like them.

@@texasharleyrider7424 Got everything cleaned up and new baffles installed, loving them. Slightly quieter but not too quiet and a lower tone. Definitely worth it but man it was a PITA. I ended up taking off the full exhaust and going at it with a wire brush wheel to clean out any residual mess to make install easier, I think it helped quite a bit.

Good to hear! Yeah, it was definitely noticeable 🤣

@@texasharleyrider7424 I’m gonna get a power vision for my 2018 Breakout. Thanks for the video and laugh.

I’ve got a 16 now, with the same powervision. Enjoy it and ride safe 🤙

With it being mostly in the tubes, I did not want to take a chance on it not working, then having to walk home 🤣. New bike does not have tubes, so it should have a better chance to work if the situation arises. Still a great balancer though 👍

From what I remember, it sat low and back, which is why I liked it so much. They don’t make it for my current bike which sucks. I have a Mustang touring solo seat currently, and it sits me up but forward. Riding position isn’t what I want, but the seat comfort makes up for it. I think it’s definitely worth getting. Only thing I heard bad about them is the ones with the back rest. Reviews have said that there is less padding due to the back rest, which can put pressure on the tailbone. Ride safe 🤙

It is a Harley speedo/tach combo. Can order it online or at your local dealership. Here is a link to check it out. Ride safe 🤙 www.harley-davidson.com/us/en/shop/combination-digital-speedometer-analog-tachometer/p/70900274

Definitely worth a shot. The sharp/high tones are what I like to get rid of.

I went one step further and ordered the "super q" baffles for my '95 Heritage with V&H Big Shots. Should have them installed soon, if I can get the old baffles out!

@@kingkrimson8771 Be sure to post your results, good and/or bad as I'm really curious about their effectiveness. Seeya. ☮✌

I just had them off to swap out the baffles. Easier to make the video.

@@texasharleyrider7424 *I wasn't being critical brother, I have '97 heritage with V&H longshots, and have never had the shields off, so it struck me as sorta odd that yours appeared discolored. I'd like to quieten mine down a bit, so your post was very informative and helpful towards my decision on which way to achieve it, so thank you. Keep yer knees in the breeze! Seeya.

Didn’t take it that way, ride safe 🤙

Those were 14” DNA Monster bars from eBay. Really liked them.

@@texasharleyrider7424 exact same ones I have on my dyna super glide custom

I currently have no baffles and it’s so annoying

I do not think so, have a different set of pipes on currently, I would need to watch the video again to jar my memory 🤣

It was very subtle, only few decibels. The quiets took out some of the higher pitches.

Here you go. They are sold individually. Vance & Hines Quiet Baffle for Shortshots Staggered and Sideshots Exhaust Systems 21301 a.co/d/fPQ1MRz

@@texasharleyrider7424 thank you

From what I remember, no. The stock baffles are not recessed in the center section, they are the same size from front to back. There would be no room for the fiberglass.

@Texas Harley Rider That's unfortunate. The quiet baffles from vance and hines are so expensive.

@@XFile91 That they are and not totally sure they are worth it. They will remove some oh the “tinny” of higher pitched sounds and quiet a few decibles.If you have a welder available, you could modify the originals. Could cut the baffle section from the end caps, cut down the middle and take a section out. Close the gap and re weld. By doing that you would create some room to be able to put the fiberglass in.

I’m not sure of the model, but from what I can find the are Carlini evil apes. They were on the bike when I got it. These measure 14-15” but the website only shows a 17” 🤷‍♂️. Hope that helps you out some. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks, it’s getting there.

Absolutely. The quiet baffles definitely made a difference in the low end though.

Damn man, that sucks. I mean, whatever gets you home lol. Any idea what is causing it?

@@texasharleyrider7424 I’m only guessing. Ive created my own cable, heavier, it lasts longer but still breaks. I’m going to buy a new grip and round out the slot a bit. We’ll see.

@@seller559 Ok gotcha. Well hope it works out.

Yeah, that was the issue. Just moved the master cylinder a tad and so far so good.

Yeah a stuck throttle will ruin anyone’s day! Luckily this was minor and an easy fix. Thanks for the comment. Merry Christmas!

Yeah, I’m leaning that way.

I switched em around and I could see more infront of me with them dropped and I use my head alot too. I have to lift my elbow to see behind me too haha

Thanks! Hopefully I can get a few more in before the weather gets nasty.

Appreciate it!

Thanks man! It’s definitely a great feeling. Appreciate the comment.

Hey man, I’m familiar lol. Been watching since “Betty” I believe. Will definitely be using them in the future. Thanks for the comment!

Ummm…….ok. I used the product for balancing purposes, which it did really well, if it would seal a puncture that would have been an added bonus. Centrifugal force is how the product works, not sure where you were going with that one 🤷‍♂️. Thanks for the food warning 🤣.

Once it's in the tire or tube, you take a ride. The centrifugal force spreads it around and it actually stays put. When you get a nail or whatever it seals the hole. It stays soft, and as the tire wears it will keep adjusting to stay balanced. Pretty good product, just doesn't seal well on a tube. balancing properties are excellent though.

Easier to ask forgiveness than permission lol. I actually got it on a promo for 10% off at the time.

Best I can tell you is to contact Fuel Moto. If you get the power vision from them, they will install a custom tune to your bikes specs. Will definitely wake it up. Thanks for the comment!

In my opinion, no. They felt way to restrictive to me. I wound up removing the caps on the ends to relieve some of the back pressure. The end difference was minimal, but the result sound wise was less of the higher pitched exhaust sound.

@@texasharleyrider7424 OK thanks for your answer

Thanks! As far as the bike fitting a person your height, I can’t answer that. I will say a friend of mine is 5’ 9” and he sat comfortably but legs were almost straight. I would have my doubts but also depends on your inseam. Best advice is to find one at a dealership to sit on or find someone around town. Would be awkward but once explaining your situation I’m sure they would let you throw a leg over. You can buy a reach seat that will push your position forward or even put a set of mid controls on and one or both together would get you where you need to be. Good luck and ride safe 🤘

@@texasharleyrider7424 thanks for the info! I will definitely consider the two modifications you mentioned if i end up getting one and i need to make it a better fit for myself, i love that bike!

Took out the higher pitches of the stock baffles which I liked, just wound up being too restrictive for my tastes.

Unfortunately I had to sell my bike, Daughter needed a car. As for the mustang, I loved it! My next bike will get the mustang as well.

So the caps were broke or the baffle itself? That’s crazy, how long had they been in?

@@texasharleyrider7424 quiet baffles were broken in peices. 4k miles, like they just deteriorated. I put the orginal VH baffles in today. it wasnt as easy as I thought. I had a real hard time with the covers and the clamps and I could not get the allen screw to thread into the baffle so i had to drill out the baffle thread hole and run the screw thru it and put a nut on the inside of it. took way longer than I anticipated. supriced I didnt scratch the hell out of stuff

@@el-hp1lj Yeah, it’s a pain to swap them out due to the heat shields. That’s the exact reason I did the video this way lol.

I would think so, how much would be debatable. I’m sure the slip ons are less restrictive than the stock exhaust so changing the tune would likely get some noticeable results. If your on the fence, give fuelmoto a call and they would be able to tell you what to expect. If you purchase from them, they will send it with a tune loaded to your bike specs.

Thanks man. The GoPro is a hero 5 black. Definitely not the newest but works as it should.
