That would depend on what you are putting the baffles into, wouldn't it?
What is a baffle?
What do you expect it to do for you?

I have Victory performance straights and I know "he" doesn't like that I do. I took the cats out today and the baffles are out as well since they restrict too much. Looking for a baffle to put in them now.

"He" doesn't care what you have... It was just a question. No one can help you if you don't give this information. Baffles are usually not one-size-fits-all.

Make some lollipop baffles or buy some from G Man...
GMan Motorcycle Exhaust GPop, in pipe LolliPop for Added Torque - GMan Industries, LTD.

They will take the edge off the noise and the jake-brake deceleration sound, while giving you back the low-end torque you lose with open pipes. Cheap and easy.

I've heard about those big city baffles, are they worth the price?

F**k no. I could make a set of those with a welder and $10. The lollipops work better. G-man bought my business in 2007... You can trust Gary.

And they don't have them anywhere near my pipe size. Biggest they go is 2-1-/4"

Your pipes are bigger than 2-1/4" inside diameter? Victory Straights?

These are 2-5/8 on the inside?

Maybe look at RPW Baffles or make some like them... Point Forward...

 

[Half_Crazy]

That's the baffle out of the straights. RPW is making me baffles to fit the pipes at a reasonable cost.

The RPW baffles work well.

What's the easiest way to make your own G-pop baffles?

Seriously? You've seen the pictures, right?

1/4" Threaded rod, a couple of 1-1/2" diameter washers, 4 nuts, 2 lockwashers.... and a welder. Weld the washers to the threaded rod, use the nuts to center it in the pipe, lockwasher on the outside, whack off the excess rod.

$5 worth of hardware and an hour of time.

Did you ever do a PC5 w auto tune? I'm thinking that or a Lloyds dyno tune since I live fairly close to them

Dyno...

 

[Half_Crazy]

You live close to Lloydz? Well, there ya go!

 

[Half_Crazy]

I would turn these around so the flat side faces the other way...

 

[Half_Crazy]

Isn't the 1"-1-1/2" plate blocking the exhaust supposed to be solid? Won't a just a washer cause a weird whistling effect?

Lay the washer on the threaded rod and weld the f**king hole shut, geeze.

@Solberg450 Here, get some eye bolts and no welding required.....

Anyone ever mod a stock air box on a Vic 106? I think I could put some holes or vents in mine to increase the air flow in. I already have a "high flow" filter in.

High Flow filter... TRANSLATION: Washable filter
You can cut the whole freakin' airbox off ahead of the filter and it won't do jack sh!t. The restriction is the small panel filter and the little tubes in there.

There are a thousand threads in here about how to increase performance... airbox comparisons... exhaust comparisons... tuning... so I'm not typing it again. Good luck to you.

glad "he" gave you some good/cheap advise

"He" is such an arrogant asshole, ya know. Always bragging and talking down to people.

Here is my question. How come I can open google and find out damned near anything in minutes, but no one else seems to be able to put "lollipop baffles" in a search engine and discover the same damned thing?

lollipop baffles - Google Search

lollipop baffles - YouTube

 

[Half_Crazy]

Because you are computer savy. What's this Google thing you speak of?.

That's funny.... In order to get to the VOG we must all be connected to the world wide web. The same damned internet... the information superhighway. If a guy can use the VOG software, a google search should be within his capabilities. One does not need to be computer savvy to type "lollipop babbles" in the address box and hit enter or 'go'.

Imagine what can be learned when a man has access to all the collective knowledge of mankind at the click of a mouse or the tap of a finger. Imagine what a cryin' shame it would be not take advantage of it.

You know what I can't find? Remember the TV show 'Renegade' with Lorenzo Llamas and Branscomb Richmond? What bike did Branscomb ride? Was it a Goldwing?
