Baffle for Open Megaphone with Reverse Cone

[Hossamania]

Do you ride with earplugs?

no

Helps cut down on ringing from wind and exhaust. It also preserves your hearing for later in life.

Too late?

If you're asking, my hearing isn't good. Next long ride I'll be wearing them. I wore them last year, unless I wasn't going far. It will be quieter when I swap the muffler out

I have a dyno session planned for July 9th. Also have an old style guppy on the way from a friend to compare it to.

Will be an interesting comparison
Hope it ticks the boxes for you

He told me the guppy was quiet. If mine compares in performance I might leave it in. Trying to talk him into selling it to me.

that will be an interesting comparison.  Do you have forward controls?

No I have mids. With my current bars forwards would be dangerous with this power lol

I was going to have a Guppy made for my Dyna. I was told by Brian Trusdale only with Forward Controls.

I meant old style guppy baffle

Did you get to do a comparison on the Dyno? I've ben riding mine around with earplugs. Much easier on the ears. I have to say I'm missing the Boarzilla exhaust as far as  general riding and having power everywhere. The big primaries/collector and short pipe do make great peak power, although you really need to be on your game shifting quickly not to drop rpm's and staying off the limiter. Not easy with such a peaky pipe. I'm definitely gaining on it. Going to finish the summer out with this and in the spring get to a dyno and try out the supertrapp muffler with longer collector. I do have a Boarzilla on hand if I decide  to run it.

No. I doubt I will get a change to run the guppy baffle in it but oh well. I bought a piece of tubing to use but my calipers were set with a different zero which I didn't notice until I turned the ID way too big.

We were letting it idle before we changed the oil and the pipe broke where the trans bracket was welded on. The trans bracket was too thick (1/2"), and the weld was absorbing all of the vibration. The fabricator knew exactly why it broke the minute he saw it, and has a plan to fix it correctly as well has support the meg. Before it was just welded to the front head pipe

 :I'm going to give mine a good look over now. That sucks

About a year later my bike is on the dyno. picked up 10-15ftlbs between 2500 and 4000, and only lost around 3hp. Ill post up the gains in my thread in dyno charts.
