HMF EXHAUST

[jtpollock]

I have had my HMF slip-on Exhaust since two weeks after I purchased my 2012 RS-S my wife and some of the people I ride with think it's too loud. It's a little louder than I would like and when I leave my garage at 4:30 am some of my neighbors are complaining. I need a baffle and am not sure how it would install or what it would look like any one out there added one to your HMF :dontknow: would like to see photos. jtpollock

We fabbed up some small baffles a few years back but I don't know if it made much difference and I totally forget the measurements.
Take out the 4 bolts from the end and pop off the end cap. You'll see the recessed ring. Measure the diameter and thickness and either look up some specs to match up from some on ebay, talk to a local shop about cutting some rings to weld some baffles to, or do your own fab work.

It's pretty straight forward...

look here

SUMMITRACING.COM sells a few different types of baffles...............you will need to have already looked inside the Muffler to see what will fit tho.....Mike :thumbup:

Mike, did not find anything there but on J&P Cycle I found a Vance & Hines Optional Quit Insert for $17.96 Plus ship if it does not work I am not out that much.
I am not a welder so I can't make on myself, think this worth a try :dontknow:. jtpollock

Maybe shoot HMF an email and ask them if their baffles from their other pipes would fit?

They do not sell any solutions, I already contacted them...... And yes, the HMF does thunder pretty loud. I have resorted to rolling my bike down the driveway, as it booms pretty loud.

I found some old pics of the ones we fabbed up out of some scrap piping we had laying around. Minimal change, but they aren't very big either. However, this will give you an idea on what fits and the size of the flange for the HMF pipes. :thumbup: Ebay sells a lot of this kind of stuff too....
