I did my 2008 Vulcan 900 like this but I used a pilot bit and 1/2 “bit for the 8 holes , then I got a rod like 3 1/2 foot long and small sledge and stuck it all the way into each pipe and knocked off the screens inside , they stay in there fyi, you get a way better beautiful rumbling sound especially with acceleration
Why all this surgery. It takes a few screws removed to debaffle Harley. Mustve been the same genious that thought self canceling signal and 4 ways were too much work.
It may be surgery but I'll take this over a harley any day and before you say it's my fault I'm broke I'm not broke I just don't care to pay for a name and only a name I can have a nice motorcycle for less and still have plenty of spending money
Why did you drill out the baffle completely it would have given a better sound. There wasn't anything wrong with what you did but the baffle is still inside the pipes. Peace.
Naw man... just buy some pipes. This doesn't sound right at all. I hear air whooshing through those little holes you drilled more than the rumble of the bike, and that's just at idle.
Well done Lama Biker. Followed your video to the “T” on my 2009 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 custom & sound is AMAZING! No impact to performance whatsoever. If your thinking about stage 2 de-baffle, don’t think twice. Walk through this step by step video & guaranteed you will not be sorry with end result. Sure as hell beats cost of custom exhaust & sounds just as good. Love it. Love it. Love it. ✌🏼😎
I feel this isn't really "debaffling", because the baffles are still in there; they were not crushed or extracted. You just put holes on the back plates to make it louder. Real debaffling (where you crush or remove the baffles all-together from the pipe) give a deeper rumble.
В этой истории очень жаль пёсика. Почему он привязан? Когда хозяин зачем-то кидает пёсе выпиленные дудки, в глазах у собакена вселенская грусть, что хозяин у него такой долбоящер - полчаса езды на этом колхозном тюнинге гарантируют мигрень как наезднику, так и любому попутчику. Тот случай, когда собака умнее хозяина.
I totally agree. I just bought a 900 Vulcan. It took me a long time to find one that was unmolested. It's unreal what some people do to their bikes because they think it's cool. Irreversible damage to very expensive parts.
Great video, went straight to stage 2 with zero issues. I did see increased popping and even tried marbling the intake but after a day or two, pulled the marble out and just run it as is. Thank you!
Ermmmm... Questions arise: - How illegal is this? In Europe, completely. But I'm not familiar with emission and noise regulations in the States. - Is this better than just changing the pipes for some custom ones so you can keep the stock ones to change over in case of having to perform some kind of regulated emission and noise test?
Exhaust Sound Recording Notes: 1. Never, ever, ever, record inside (tip, we ride outside) 2. Never put the camera (microphone) close to the exhaust exit (tip, we don't experience exhaust sounds that way naturally). Shortcut: Get outside and have a friend or tripod record while you ride. It's really that simple. Don't be put off by my comments. These mistakes are very common, they just serve no purpose.
I used a Sawzall with 6inch metal blade..2 whole saws and cut a skinny paint brush roller on half to stick in the pipe. Took me about 1hr to complete. My bike sounds amazing now.
1 1/2" to get the OD of the smaller pipe and 2 1/2" to get the ID of the exhaust. Spent a little while wiggling the baffle tubes but the bike sounds 100x better! Thanks for the video!
