Single baffle in Scorpion Cans

Post by V-Thump »

Hey stormers for any one who finds themselves stuck in two minds...............baffle inserts out "loud and illegal" and baffle inserts in "legal but sedate" just try one!

I've tried it on the left can i.e baffle in as I think this is the louder can as it gets hotter than the right hand one.

You still get the note but not the power, probably sound more like a SV650 now i.e half the power. Certainly less obxnious for my 6:15 commute through town.

They should be up by then anyway. If they don't need to be, they've all day to go back to bed again.

Remove both!

Well my bike has the Scorpion cans but with a set of baffle cut off about 80mm from the end of the tube so from outside the baffles are in place so to speak but it is straight through with just a reduced hole size ( 8O ).
Good compromise between annoying people or getting a BiB stop and fully 'loud'.

I have a complete set of baffles 'as was' for MOT time though.
