    I think that I am done adding stuff to my bike as far as performance stuff goes... I am completely satisfied with how my scooter is set up... Thanks for the information though...

    That is very interesting. I'm going to be using 34" 1 3/4" dia. drags on my build. Called J&P and they recommended 10 1/2" baffles. I have no idea how all this is going to work. We'll see . . .

    97 ft. lbs. and 91 hp on dyno after 103 kit and sert installed. It might not be the best set-up but I wanted to be different so I tried this.

    Here is another question.....BCT is suggesting that I install the baffles a minimum of 6" in my pipe...OK, but here is the problem, how I am supposed to reach that far into my pipe to do this since they do not have mufflers???:banghead:

    Didn't they say 6" is best but 3" mininum from ends of pipe would work? Stick baffle on a small pice of wood (like a small hammer handle)and slide in, hold in place start crew thru hole you have to drill and tighten, pull wood out.
