how do i take my baffles out of my 2006road king classic?

Answer 1

Why do you want to do this for ?The noise American Rider mag did a performance study on this and found no added HP or torque value. But by changing to a freer flowing muffler Like Vance and Hines or (the name escapes me now and I can't find the magazine article) and either remapping the FI or rejetting the carb a noticeable HP gain with more torque was recorded on a dyno.But if you must know, take a hole saw the size of the inside dia. of the pipe drill it and pull it out . But I personally recomend new mufflers and or pipes

Answer 2

Undo the two bolts holding the slip ons in plae. They are behind the heat shield. Once removed, you pull off the slip on mufflers, then you undo the two bolts holding the baffle retainer inplace. Not too bad of a job. But if your bike is fuel injected, this will cause a sensor problem and you will have to remap the computer. Cheaper to buy new pipes and a power commander for a few hundred buck and not void your warranty. Plus you can return it to stock very easily for servicing.

Answer 3

Easier to buy aftermarket slip-ons. You can pick up "Wild Pigs" on E-Bay for around $200.00 You can get different baffle sizes to change the tune. Would also recomend a different air filter. Remember, you will be changing how the motor breathes. Removing baffles in not recomended, especialy if you are running an injected bike. It would screw up the "mapping" in your computer. Best advice... ask the dealer you bought it from. Or better yet, read, listen and learn . If you are truely cluless, just leave it stock

Answer 4

Pipes with no baffles in em, or 'straight pipes' are also known as 'cop magnets'. Do you really feel like donating to the policemen's ball fund? LOL Also, another good case against removing baffles is that it reduces the engines back-pressure, which can make it run like crap...
