All you need is a Drill and a 1/2" bit at least 12" long.

Going to do this to my 800 tonight.

Good luck!

[@joerader6532]

@@rudyfaile yea it sucked but sounds 100 times better and only cost me the $20 drill bit. Was definitely worth the blister of doing it. 😀

It been a month did work for you

[@joerader6532]

@@diznuttz5706 yes. Sounds 100 times better and only put two holes in the inner baffles. Three on the outer baffles. It saves a lot of money and it runs a lot better. That may be from rebuilding carbs and new plugs tho. 😀

[@VIKINGCUSTOMS24]

Why not just grind off the rivets and pull and the baffle out .... sounds waayy better

[@DuckyHitsBills]

Do you know what diameter the header to muffler is to fit slip ons?

[@mikesbikechannel4387]

I mistakenly cut two of the baffle plates out of my 1995 Intruder 800 years ago and it was way too lean. Not sure how to jet it to compensate now.

[@John_Malka-tits]

Bigger jets=more fuel, or try adjusting your throttle cable

[@mikesbikechannel4387]

@@John_Malka-tits I can't get a handle on weather she's running too lean or to fat now. I went back to factory carb kit after the dealer overcomped it by putting a cobra stage one kit in it and it was way too rich! It's running better but still not 100%.

[@nicholasparry6859]

Just get new exhausts. Not worth ruining the bike over messing with the baffles.

[@mikesbikechannel4387]

@@nicholasparry6859 little too late. I'll eventually get her right. It's been a struggle but a good learning process. I now know more about carbs than I ever did before! Lol!

[@thestumpinator5774]

Never seen intruders with an exhaust on each side like that. What exhaust is that?

[@rudyfaile]

Pretty sure it was stock

[@nalatherescue]

My intruder 1400 has a pipe on each side.

[@Toddy863]

So after the first hole in the baffle there is two more plates or one i drilled thru the outside and another..?

[@rudyfaile]

It’s been a long time but I remember there being 2 after the outside plate, it's possible i'm misremembering though. With the 12" bit you should be able to take it all the way down and find out.

[@davidtran6475]

Has this had any effect on the bikes performance?

[@rudyfaile]

Anecdotally, I did feel like the bike had slightly better response and torque after this modification :-)

[@YRINEOSALAZAR]

did you have to re-jet the carbs??

[@rudyfaile]

no

[@alecmulligan922]

Just remove the exhaust baffles

[@alexanderchefanov2516]

Is that a good bike for tall people (190cm)?

[@rudyfaile]

I’m about that height. I’d say it’s a great first bike but eventually you will grow into a larger bike.

[@nightkast0]

Get some forward controls on it $200

[@JSAFIXIT]

@@rudyfaile Not really, I'm 5'10 and feel kind of cramped. Mostly in the legs
