    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Fabricating a baffle?

The Vance & Hines 4-1 Megaphone that came on my GS750EX was missing the baffle when I got it. I don't really mind a loud bike, but since I'm living in an apartment the neighbors might. So, what is the cheapest replacement baffle available, and how hard would it be to fabricate one? Anyone got one laying around that they could take a pic of? Not wanting to completely silence the beast, but a muted roar and enough backpressure to make the Stage 3 jet kit happy would be nice.

I have no idea what the baffle is even supposed to look like on a megaphone, I'm used to cruiser-style exhausts. The V&H website lists a replacement baffle, but no one has a pic of it. I'm planning on following the "baffle packing on the cheap" topic and using stainless steel wool. So if anyone has a pic they can post, or even better a spare baffle lying around they would part with, I'd appreciate it.
 
whare did you buy the vh at? send it back or tell them there was no baffle... they should send you one... unless you bought it privately and there just isnt one....
 
They can be fabricated, but for $40, no aggrivation finding & fabricating anything, perfect fit, looks like it should. If money's tight, go mow a yard for the $40, you won't spend near as much time as making a decent baffel.
