uechi kid Posted June 3, 2009 #1 Posted June 3, 2009 Well I just got my new Barron slip on mufflers yesterday. I was wondering if there is anything I need to watch out for or is it very straight forward. Oh yeah, do I need to remove the saddle bags or can they be installed with them on. Thanks Rich
loehring Posted June 3, 2009 #2 Posted June 3, 2009 I have Baron 4-2-4s and I love them. There is a bolt on top of the pipes that attaches to a brace just under the saddle bags. I always take them off so I can get to the bolt easily. I don't know if you can do it with the bags on. I've never tried.
uechi kid Posted June 4, 2009 Author #4 Posted June 4, 2009 I have read that some people use silicon to seal the header and the and the muffler. Is that something that is recomended?
hale374 Posted June 4, 2009 #5 Posted June 4, 2009 I have the same pipes. Slid right on, tightened the clamps and I was done. No leaks and no use of silicon. Mine are very loud and I just packed them today. Much better as far as noise.

Sideoftheroad Posted June 5, 2009 #7 Posted June 5, 2009 The baffling looks like housing insulation on my previous bike with Vance & Hines. Just guessing it is housing insulation. Probably could buy some and wrap some tape around to keep it in place.
