Sharkroad Quiet Baffles 

Thanks Jon! After doing the Sharkroad videos Ive spent alot of time watching and finding some things I need to improve upon for future videos. My daughter is a pretty good critic ;-)

Thanks for your feedback!!

Frizzman, thank you for the complement. I think the best sound is the regular supplied Sharkroad baffle with wrapping. The now come wrapped by default from Sharkroad. I think my videos helped them come to that determination. Give them a try I think you are really going to like them!

Hi Carlos, Sorry if I didn't appear enthusiastic. I think the Sharkroads do sound AMAZING in any configuration. After I got the Ivan flash I think it was better without any decel popping and cooler running. Overall the Sharkroad muffler is a deal!

Corey, is the baffle the same length as the stock baffle? If its not you got the wrong baffle.

Hi Vadim, the Vaquero also runs hot. The Ivan tune/flash Helps with that. Both are great bikes and the one for you Is the one that speaks to you...the one that calls your name and begs you to ride it.

Yes Amazon, I cant find the link to my exact product but if you do a search for "fiberglass muffler packing" you'll find lots of good options.

Jim, let's chat about this. I can help you.

Email me your contact info and I will call you .. craigmrihit@yahoo.com

Thank you Tony! I think Sharkroad will ship to Canada. Let me ask about that. if you add any aftermarket muffler to the Kawasaki's you will find that you will hear alot of popping on deceleration because of the fresh air induction system Kawasaki uses to burn any unburnt gas leaving the combustion chamber. The Ivan fixes that among a host of other things....You can run without the Ivan but not at its best. The backrest is grasshopper.

@@craiggoldstein2461 thanks Craig appreciate it 👍

It really did. Not only did the Deceleration popping stop, the bike ran noticeably cooler. Finally it smoothed out a few runability issues that stock Kawasaki 1700s occasionally suffer from. A worthy upgrade.

Hi Jay, I believe there is a slight improvement but thats not what makes his flash so successful.....The bike wont pop on deceleration most prevalent by adding aftermarket mufflers, the bike will run cooler as he not only modifies the fuel and ignition timing but he turns the cooling fan on sooner. All throttle transition glitchy Ness is resolved making the bike just smoother and more enjoyable to operate.....

Craig , thanks for your reply. Here’s another question. I test drove one yesterday from a private seller. Bike was clean with lots of options and we agreed on a fair price. When I drove it it was so sluggish and backfired that it totally discouraged me. I realize Ivan’s flash would remedy the backfiring but I was not at all satisfied with the sluggish performance. I called Ivan and he said his power charts are based on wide open throttle and that the main improvements are cooling, power delivery, no more backfiring. My main concern is that if I buy the bike and put Ivan’s flash on it will I be satisfied with the power? I’m thinking I will be satisfied based on the vast positive comments I’ve read but I can’t be sure. I was prepared to buy the bike when I test rode it but the power is just making me pause. I told the guy I’m going to ponder this more and will get back with him. I know there’s a chance he could sell but then that would be my answer, which is how I’m going to look at it from a faith based point of view. Any thoughts to help me reconsider? Thanks for any object feedback to my dilemma.

@@jaybd9329 I am confident you will notice an improvement in overall performance. Many people say "The bike should have come this way from Kawasaki" or "I almost sold my bike before doing the Ivan".....I dont know what your used to or expect. If you want it to run as strong as a new HD 114 I think you'll be disappointed. If your used to a Goldwing or Sportbike I think you'll be disappointed. I can however say it'll fix a ton of issues with the stock programming that makes the bike a much more desirable motorcycle to ride.

@@craiggoldstein2461 ok, thanks Craig. My reference point is my former 2016 Road King 103 which is the same as the 1700, stock everything, and my butt Dino felt about 30% more pull smoothly up the power band. I’m not expected Goldwing or the 114 HD, just a decent pull, which I now believe the Voyager can provide, especially based on all the satisfied customers of Ivan’s tune. If I get the bike I’ll get the tune and give you my feedback afterwards. Appreciated your feedback

Hi Curtis, they dont have a call center here in USA. They handle transactions on their website....Messaging as well. I have found that at times replies from them can be sluggish but they always follow through.
