    Nice little upgrade. Sounds so much better with the 1" washers. And props to you for being such a badass dad and teaching your boys the rite way 👍👍

    Hi, did you felt by removing the baffles it needed a tuning? Lost power? have a 2019 fatboy not sure if to remove the baffles or spend 400 on slipons seems to pricey and i like how the stock ones look just hate the sound.

    • @grknikolaki
      @grknikolaki  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Federico Rodriguez Honestly I drove around maybe 80 miles without baffles until my full exhaust arrived. Didn’t want to drive around with the stock noise mufflers... but it was loud and eat up lots of fuel .. i think it out been best to tune also.. i took a chance.. Speak to a mechanic to give you better outcome or result

    Yeah but I've been there too trying to do anything to customize a bike that's how you learn sweet bike just curious how does it handle around the turns about 70 miles per hour my friend's got a breakout and with the larger Tire, how does it handle in and out traffic

    • @grknikolaki
      @grknikolaki  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hank Navarro , it handle good on turns.. but in on the highway with high traffic the solid rims get a crosswind at those speeds..

    thats not a lolly pop the thunder monster baffle in constructed of a section of exhaust tubeing cupling that inserts inside the muffer that has a 1/4 in flat washer fabricated on a stem in the middle that has a 1/4 20 thread nut welded to it to screw to the muffler ..just putting any size washer on a makeshift bracket is not the same
