Big City Thunder Baffles

[dogdoc]

hey is anybody using either the Monster(louder) or QQ(quiter) BCT baffles with the V&H dual baggers?? if so which part number is for the V&H baggers. The sound clips Ive heard sound really good compared to stock V&H. just wondering what your experiences have been if you use either of these two baffles.

Thanks

The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) International has produced a simple, consistent and economical sound test standard that can be used to determine whether a streetbike (on-highway motorcycle) exhaust system emits excessive sound, the AMA reports.

"The AMA maintains that few factors contribute more to misunderstanding and prejudice against street riders than excessively noisy motorcycles," Moreland continued. "With the new SAE J2825 standard, street motorcyclists can now determine how quiet, or loud, their bikes really are."

"The J2825 test allows jurisdictions around the nation, struggling with complaints about excessive motorcycle sound, to set reasonable limits in accordance with the SAE standard," said Moreland. "While the AMA supports the establishment of the SAE J2825 standard in America's cities, towns and communities, we will continue to fight efforts that single out motorcycles while still permitting excessive sound from other sources, such as loud cars and trucks, booming car stereos, poorly maintained generators, whining leaf blowers, and the like."

Doc, I had Thunder Monsters on my Harley and they sounded great. But that was on a Harley.
Last time I talked to them, and its been awhile, only TM baffle available fits at the end of the header pipe.

I believe "classic1" has used TM on his Nomad. Might want to get input from Mike.

I did have them in my baggers. I had to make my own baffle assembly to use them. I had them in my pipes at the Helen, GA. spring rally. The TM baffles that I have are the ones that fit inside of V&H Longshots. That's what I had on my 1500 Classic before the Nomad. My assembly looks kinda like the long baffles that BCT has for some SE Harley pipes.
I posted a sound clip a few months ago. But the idling and rev-up in front of the camera didn't sound that great. I have always liked the TM sound but they are loud.

Thx guys ,,, Im not into removing mufflers to add the baffle and then drill a set screw hole. I'll look closer at our home grown UB. :-)

Doc I put these baffles on they soud great nice rummble and they felt like they gave it a little more low end. As for removing the baffles and drilling the holes you dont take off the muffler you just pull the stock baffles drill a couple of holes bolt the new baffle to it and slid it back in it took me mayby 10 min.
