After reading some reviews about a difficult install process I was reluctant to purchase, but I fortunately had zero issues getting them in. Just remember to install with the curve of the radius as a guide. Using a bearing race tool of the same size as the end was very helpful in tapping them in. It actually took longer to get the set screws in than the baffle, the lock tight made it a challenge to get started inside the end of the pipe. The Fat Bob I just purchased had the baffles removed so these made a huge difference and sounds even better now.

I installed these on my V&H Big Radius on a 2010 Heritage Classic. DO NOT REMOVE THE PLASTIC WRAP FROM THE BAFFLES. The plastic will burn off allowing the white material to expand into shape. So, if you’re looking for a drastic change you might looking into changing out the entire exhaust system. With the quiet baffles you will get a deeper, much lower pitch sound. More like a low rumble. I love the sound over the original baffles. It’s not a lot quieter though there is a noticeable difference. The old baffles came out very easily. Try to line up the holes best you can before you start (they will most likely still need some adjustment once you get them all the way in). I had to use a rubber dead blow hammer to install them. You need work them in slowly. You have to stop hammering wiggling it around and then continue with the hammer again. Keep repeating this process. Don’t worry, they will go in. Once you get the back end of the baffle started it should go in fairly easily from there. You don’t want to hammer on the baffles while the bolts on the exhaust mount bracket are loose. Once they were in all the way I used a punch to line up the holes for the baffle allen screw. It’s much easier to do this with the pipes off the bike and line it up from outside the pipe. Hammer the baffles while the pipes are on the bike and then remove to line up the hole. Sounds like a haste but you will spend hours trying to get the screw in without success. You’ll see what I mean if you try to line it up while the pipes are still installed. I did put the baffles in the freezer the night before but honestly can’t say if that made a difference.

I wanted to tone down the big radius pipes a little. The change is not dramatic, but the higher tones were brought down a bit. I still think it's a win. I was getting a ringing in my right ear even with a full face helmet. Not getting the ringing now.Couple things on the removal and install:Removal:1. Be sure to pre-spray inside the pipes with a penetrating spray if the pipes have more than a small amount of miles on them. Your goal is to spray the stock baffles within the pipes. This will help break up SOME of the buildup.2. Remove set screw.3. Use, rent, or borrow a mechanics slide puller hammer. Use the small hook attachment and hold it on the welded nut on the inside of the stock baffle. Takes a little work to get it to hook properly. Use your other hand to slide the hammer portion. Do smaller pulls and the carbon and possible tight spots should be no problem. Took me about 25 pulls on one of the baffles. The other came out easily with just a few pulls.Install:1. Keep the plastic on the fiberglass portion.2. I put the baffles in my chest freezer to shrink them ever so slightly.3. Use a dead blow hammer.4. My strikes were not hard, but firm.5. When hitting in the baffle try to keep the fiberglass from bunching up. It may get caught on the entry point of the pipe and begin bunching up. I used a hard flat plastic piece to push in the bunched up fiberglass.6. Be sure to align the new baffles bolt threads with the hole in the pipe. I kept checking the alignment as I got closer to having it inserted. I made a few adjustment with a pipe wrench and slightly twisting the bell on the end as I hammered. One of my holes ended up slightly off, so I had to remove that pipe and Dremel out the hole in the pipe to get the bolt started. I couldn't get the new baffle out, so this was my next best option. On the second baffle I made a mark on the tail of the baffle to help me see the alignment better.7. One of my baffles was ever so slightly oblong at the entrance, so it was a bit of a struggle to get started. I used a large channel lock to get it more rounded.8. My pipes are black, and I cleaned them off before starting the bike. Be sure to clean chrome pipes well with the appropriate chrome cleaner.9. When I started my bike a little smoke came out of the pipe from the plastic around the fiberglass burning off.Enjoy!!

The ad says 2-2 and shows a photo of two baffles but only sells you one! Wow! This is false advertising at its best! You most definitely cannot run your bike with one baffle installed. The delivery time was over a month and they are more expensive than direct from Harley. Not only just getting one baffle but they were not anything special. I don’t recommend this product to anyone - go to Harley direct.
Gratteux !!

Rend plus sourd le son d'origine des Big Radius, pour moi sa me conviens, je n'ai pas donné un 5 étoiles, c'est a cause du vendeur de ce produit, il affichait 2 Baffles sur la photo a vendre et c'était en fait pour seulement 1 Baffle pour le prix affiché, oui je vous l'accorde j'aurais pu aller voir tout au bas de sa page pour lire la description du produit, mais pour ma part il y avait pas grand description a y avoir, des Baffles c'est des Baffles, car je les aurais acheté d'un autre vendeur, ils m'aurait revenue moins cher.

The Vance and Hines big radius are beautiful on my Harley Davidson Springer. I loved the look, but the stock baffles were just way too loud for me. Reluctantly I bought the V&H quite baffles. I wasn’t happy spending additional $120 on top of $725 V&H exhaust.My opinion the quite baffles should be a extra set that come with the exhaust set. The quiet baffles made my Bike sound nice low Rumble like a civilized Harley. You can have conversation when it running. It will get loud when hit it hard in upper rpms, like...give this bike some respect. Installing was a issue because of the tight fit. The one baffle was installed all oiled up ,a block of wood, hammer and one hour of pounding. The other baffle I set in freezer for a couple hours. Heated the exhaust pipe with my plumber torch.(My exhaust was off the bike) I got the pipe hot but not color red hot to expand it . Out the freezer into the pipe a few taps with wood block and hammer. Less then minute later was installing the set screw. Install with plastic on, I hope all this rambling helps you.

very good quality but must work a little to install because the dimensions are not quite accurate

In order to get these installed, I've had to take my bike for a long ride so that the pipes were scalding, while the baffels were in the freezer to shrink as much as possible. I go them to just squeeze inside the tip and then began the long process of sledgehammering them into the pipes (gently so as to not break the stem bolts for the pipes). After an hour of tapping the first one into place, I gave the second it's first love tap and the welds on it gave up the ghost.I'd send em back, but good luck ever getting them out now.They are pretty quiet though.
