Too Loud
I have straight unbaffled pipes on my FLH and the noise level is unacceptable. Can someone point me in the right direction to find a pair of baffles or noise suppressors. Thanks.

Which pipes do you have?
I just installed Vance & Hines Oval slip-ons. Love them... not to loud with nice low rumble at idle.

They are cheap drag pipes and the noise is incredible. Is there an inexpensive muffler I can buy to slip on the darn things? After buying this bike, I don't have the cash to buy a nice exhaust system. Just need something decent.

if they are 1.75 inch pipes, buy any 1.75 inch baffles, you might need to drill a hole in the end of the pipes if there isn't already one there

They are 1.5". So any 1.5" baffle will work? Sorry, but I know nothing about this.
