    Make your own attached to a threaded rod and that way you can adjust it.:D

    There are many out there. The Sampson mufflers hart came with my Springer have them installed. Works on a real simple philosophy. :)

    Baffle should be slightly smaller than the ID of the pipe but not much
    we're talking tiny amounts, I would go by a motorcycle shop
    and pick up some exhaust fiberglass wrap for the baffles, this will
    increase the tone of he sound (Deeper) and help keep the baffles
    from any rattles, it's cheap, easy and you can wrap it with masking
    tape to hold in place the tape will burn off.

    Hey guys....Listen, I got my BCT baffles yesterday and when I opened them up I was not happy.:banghead: The ones that I received are smaller than the fix that I did to my current set!!!!:gah: I told the guy that my pipes are bigger than what he wanted to send me....Trusting what he was telling me I gave in and let him be right.....I agree with you guys....I would much rather that the baffles fit snug......They don't!!!!:banghead: Now I get to ccall them up and have them send me the ones that I wanted in the first place!!!!:cussing:

    yeah......but I just remember a comment that someone here made awhile back that when I disagreed with what the "expert" or builder said they kind of snotted off like this...."yeah, they are they are the builder, what do they know?"

    I here ya ChuckTx, but I am just a kid, I don;t know a thing......:banghead:

    JB it's the pipe the lollipop sets in that makes the difference , when I first heard about them I called & talk to them , I use to use just the lollipop in my old shovle it worked , but had to play with differenrt size washers a few times to get it right , BCB does that for you & adds the pipe I've been happy with mine:D
