Baron 4-2-4 baffles...

[Bummer]

Anybody have a set of Baron 4-2-4s that can take a pic of a baffle? Even a description would be a lot of help.

 

I picked up a set of used 4-2-4s last fall. They look great on the bike, but there's one small problem. No baffles. Yowie zowie, those things are loud! There's no way Irene and I can go touring with straight pipes and hear ourselves think five minutes into the ride, much less at the end of the day.

 

I cut off a set of "standard" baffles so they'd fit and added wire extensions that run up into the pipes. I wrapped those with packing material. Now the sound is satisfactory, nearly stock in fact, but I'm afraid I have too much back pressure. I'm considering taking them out and reworking the packing material for more exhaust flow. A little more sound would be ok too.

 

I'm basically wondering if I'm going in the right direction. Can anyone offer any guidance?
