Re:Baffle-ing V&H's Long Shots... 11 Months, 2 Weeks ago

I purchased the V&H brand quiet baffles from phatperformanceparts.com and installed them in the longshots I had on the bike at the time.

The inside vs outside diameter was just right. One metric allen screw removed on each pipe, a coat hanger with a small 90 degree angle bent at one end to remove the stock baffles and five minutes later the job was done.

The trick about wrapping the the insulation with thin wire as illustrated in the video is correct otherwise it will bunch up when you slide the quiet baffles in. (tight fit)

will be interesting to hear the difference in the other brand baffles

Its all good as long as the end user is happy with the decibel level
