Question Vance & Hines basic slip ons (baffles?)

These were fitted to my 05 Road King when I bought it. Initially I though they sounded OK noise wise, now I'd like something a bit quieter for distance riding. Does anyone have these fitted, and can you get any sort of baffles for them?

They look (and sound) straight through.

Re: Vance & Hines basic slip ons (baffles?)

I've got the quiet baffles in my ShortShots and they don't reduce the volume all that much but they do make the sound a lot less sharp (And deafening) than the pipes have without the baffles. Just a word of warning though; When I added the baffles I had to remap my FuelPack to compensate for the back-pressure (or something like that anyway) so if you're running a FuelPack or a Power Commander then you might need to do a bit extra Good luck with it.

I've had a good look on the website but to no avail. Do you have a link harleyshrew?

Re: Vance & Hines basic slip ons (baffles?)

Check out this link:

Part Request from High Plains Harley-Davidson, Inc.

I used them for my pipes (and the baffles) they arrived inside two weeks (that was due to the size of the pipes, baffles would fit inside a big envelope) and I got a good deal. The baffles are only really tubes with wadding around them so I don't foresee any warranty problems I think that they cost about £40 here and $40 over there including shipping (Of course my memory might not have it quite right but it's somewhere around those figures)
