Repacking motorcycle mufflers

I pulled the baffles out of my Road King and removed the packing from around them about a month ago. I put the baffles back in and while it was louder, it was a bit louder than my ears like and I was experiencing decell pop at an annoying level. Lesson learned. If it aint broke, dont fix it. I removed the baffles, repacked them and reinstalled them. Its a very quiet bike now, and I'll just live with it. If I only have two options, too loud, or too quiet, I choose too quiet.

If you want to help buy more shop supplies, you can shop through the links below. It doesn't cost you any more, but I get a small fee when you purchase something at any of the links.

Nice fix to get what you want. Nice looking bikes. Thanks for the update.

Great job, good thing you are mechanically inclined and know what to do to get the results you want. Truckers dictionary, lol. You need a camera set up to watch your gate and mailbox it looks like, bacon thieves are all around. It’s been raining and windy here too. Y’all take care and be safe!

Love what you keep in your cup holder 😁

Sweet! So I took my stimulus check and a few more bucks and bought a professional quality drone. Had it for about a week and I’m gonna start posting videos again

Fuelpak tuner is one solution. Slip on’s with the tuner is an option. Always enjoy your videos!

Those grips are for electronic throttle. Check inside the throttle grip for a star type shape. It turns the potentiometer for newer bikes. If they are listed for her year the listing is wrong.

What would we do without Vise Grips? I hate redoing things! You still need that exercise mat.

Still sounds loud enough for me. Bikes are looking beautiful!!

I saw a guy on YT that welded a bugle to his exhaust.😎

May have to do a sniff test around that mail truck 🤔

[dragonslayer]

That sucky mailman probably ate you bacon. LOL Bikes are looking Good

This is not the first missing bacon story I've heard. Guard your bacon, the shortage is real. I though the Harley vibrating was a perk? Hehe you're going to have to get new pipes because she's never going to let you live it down.

[Thewrightstuff]

Missing bacon. That’s a really tough one to prove... About like me standing over an empty donut box denying it was me....

[TNbubba]

Fine tuning will get the wanted results.

[Volusiaev]

I absolutely LOVE the smell of bacon, especially in my vehicle. 🤐

Is that my extender flashlight I just spent all my loves points to get

Since it's usually easy to remove the baffles, I would have first tried only putting in 1/4 the amount of packing and go up from there.

[gregorythomas]

Without that low end power my fat ass would still be sitting at the light :)

I've never owned a Harley (yet), but one thing I've never understood is why do people constantly rev them at red lights/stop signs (some people on sport bikes do too)? Are they tuned to where they can't hold an idle? Or, is it a "look at me" type thing? I get that "loud pipes save lives", but seems that many folks over do it (if there isn't an underlying idle issue). Hopefully your bacon comes soon....Mmmmm...Bacon 🥓 🥓 🥓 🥓

Why did you repack them… you didn’t like the sound without packing?
