Thumbs Up project complete!

Chucksters dual plate w/k&n filter, coaster set, tps adjustment and vance & hines debaffled (used sink strainers at tips). It's like a new LOUD bike!

Good deal. Makes you feel good when you get a project done.

I will post a pic soon...but I warn you they are still in the 'experimental' state :). I will say that so far it sounds AMAZING and I have noticed a lot more low end torque than running w/o any baffles. I cautiously state that the original baffles seemed to have even better low end but for my taste it's something I can trade off for the incredible sound! Essentially I've created a kind of 'super trap' tip.

P.S. Cost me $12 total at local hardware store

I believe a few years ago someone else blew the sink-strainers out also...

So, that probably isn't a good idea after all.

Gerry... don't take your sink strainers out of the kitchen sink... you'll only blow them out the back-end, and get in big trouble with the Mrs.
