Author Message   Desertguy Posted on Sunday, March 20, 2011 - 07:43 pm:        Trying to get ideas/suggestions as my Vance & Hines SS2R has a bad baffle. Also has anybody any ideas on how to redo a V&H baffle?   96s2t Posted on Saturday, March 26, 2011 - 01:15 pm:        Drill out the pop rivets in the end of the can, remove it , repack it and then re-rivet it. I only repacked mine with half the original amount of packing. It's a great pipe.   Xlcrguy Posted on Saturday, March 26, 2011 - 10:35 pm:        SuperTrapp on my S2 since 1995. No problems after over 80k miles.   Nallac Posted on Sunday, March 27, 2011 - 12:51 am:        Drill out the Rivets???. Both of my V&H pipes have allen head bolts on the outlet end that i unscrew and repack.. I welded up a new baffle out of thick car exhaust baffleing when my orginal V&H baffle destroyed itself. I have repacked it a few times now...you get that when you use Pink Batts wall insulation...   96s2t Posted on Sunday, March 27, 2011 - 01:02 am:        I have had the V&H on for over 70,000 miles and only repacked it twice. The aluminum can was held together with pop rivets. I used heavy white motocross packing and packed it tight toward the back of the can. I like the sound, performance and durability of it. The carbon fiber can is a little bit more fragile but does sound deeper.   Desertguy Posted on Sunday, March 27, 2011 - 03:22 am:        Ok... I am going to try the "stove rope" method. (Wind the inner cage with stove rope from top to bottom and secure with wire at each end.) I will post results when I get it all together. Also I need to experiment with that Alumaloy rod you use with a propane torch to repair my rear bracket, (cracked).   S2pengy Posted on Sunday, March 27, 2011 - 08:47 am:        Super Trapp on S2t. Bartels on S2. Did a MSF experieced rider course a few years back and put the stock muffler back on the S2 and I swear the mid range improved....   Desertguy Posted on Sunday, March 27, 2011 - 11:39 am:        I don't doubt it s2pengy; I don't care for anything too loud either. By the way does anyone have any ideas on what to use for packing once I get the baffle wrapped? I have heard all kinds of things like pink house wool, steel wool, stainless steel wool, basalt wrap (wonder where I can get that???), etc., etc.   96s2t Posted on Sunday, March 27, 2011 - 01:21 pm:        I used repacking material sold for dirtbike exhaust systems. Available everywhere. Some people have used fireproof stovepipe rope available at hardware stores.

(got muffler from supertrapp when the older ones were breaking off, this ones lasted many years so far without a problem...) works great! (Message edited by jsunstar on April 02, 2011)
