Harley Davidson - GOING TO POUND TOWN (On Stock Mufflers)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 мар 2021
- Aftermarket pipes are expensive and even more difficult to purchase when you just bought a new Harley Davidson Touring motorcycle. Today we're going to mess around with punching out the baffles and/or restrictor plate on Harley-Davidson baggers. A side note, I am sure this is the same on a Softail or Dyna. All you need is a drill, 3/8" extensions, a hammer (preferably a small sledge) and a whole lot of beer.

Obviously, in his defense, he was left unsupervised - LOL
I have a sign in my garage that says- "Every 5 minute job is one broken bolt away from a 3 day ordeal"
I need one of those signs for my work!!
I actually laughed out loud at least 3 or 4 times watching this!
Fantastic entertainment!!
Thanks man, you’ve made my day!
I'm 67 and I own 113 bobber and you are the man
I used a Pace of Water Pipe A little smaller than my Baffle and it worked great now that was me .
Cut the weld and it pulls right out! No drama! If you want to keep the baffle get some rebar and mini sledge and hit it hard! Not medium, big boy hard!
You DO remind me of Dom DeLuise...(God loves us, for he gave us beer)! And, I have to say, I REALLY wish I had a neighbor like you...good sense of humor, and you clearly like working on bikes (not as sure about riding them...but hey...Harley, right?)...Since I know you'd be home fighting over the latest Harley breakdown...I know you'd keep a close eye on my place (while I'm riding my Indian Scout) anyhow...🤣
Grrr... Ha!
Milwaukee M18 drill
I drilled the welds on the end of the baffle out on my wife’s sportster a couple years ago. It worked great.
Big hammer and crow bar I did to my low rider
Glad to see that I am not the only one that has things not go wright.
Thanks Scooter
Me, some friends use a hole saw to a 2017 RG exhaust and it sounded damn good afterwards. Thank God we had a working saw, grinder and cold beer.
Brought a smile to my face after a bad day.
I’m glad bud. Now have a cold one or 17.
I used a chunk of rebar on mine and sharpened the end into a point. worked great!!!
Good idea
No beer Lol
Glad to see that i am not the only one who buys the bike and when they bring you over to buy parts you are tapped out.
I absolutely love watching your videos. All those jokes that you "sneak" into what you're saying is hilarious lmao 🤣
I was in that very predicament in Sturgis 1 year, and ended up with a sledge, and a really long spike that I happened to have on the RV. After about 3 vodka Red Bull’s some choice words, I was able to at least poke some holes in the baffles for the week. When I got back home, I chased it with same said sledge and a bar, (and I believe 3 beers as I was out of vodka by that point) and finally got them knocked out. It is therapeutic though!!
It’s definitely a 4 - 9 beer job.
Craftsmen for hand tools
Ridgid or Milwaukee for power.
Ridgid has awesome lifetime warranty as long as you register within 30 days of purchase. They also have a warranty on the batteries.
I'm really hard on tools(4 foot cheater bar on 3/8 ratchet hard) so the craftsmen and Ridgid warranties have come in handy and saved a bit of money over the years.
Time to take a trip to pound town!!!! Lmao
Did the poor mans exhaust on my old Sporty when I bought her new and it definitely sounded better at low idle but got a bit tinny sounding on the top, still better than nothing. We’ll call it a 3 beer or in my case since I don’t drink a 2 bowl packer 🔥Love the videos 🐒 if for nothing else the entertainment is priceless.
Let American Custom Exhaust do the work for you.
Keep banging to get the flaps open.
I love what you do on here and what you stand for with the children hope to meet you one day in person
I drilled out my baffles on my 2020 road king special within the first 12hr of ownership... 2 1/8 whole saw no extensions, didn’t even take the pipes off the bike, they sound pretty good for a free mod,
Man.... I wish you were my neighbor! Flippin hilarious!!
We’d go to jail.
#1- replace beer with Bourbon.
#2- tell Mrs. Monkey that she should buy you a Thunder Header because she will feel better about buying it for you.
Here's a suggestion brother, use a tactical flashlight to look into both ends to get a good look-see what ur dealing with before pound-town. 👍
Northern Tool has a big sale on Milwaukee Lithium Ion drills, and batteries goin on right now. If you get their flyer, for $200 you get a drill/driver and a 1/4" impact, and you get a free battery and $20 off.
You're welcome 😎
T.S. RACING
O3 Road King 18in. 3/8 drill drilled holes until I got the sound I liked.Didn’t even take um off. 8 holes sounded great no ecm. problem. But hey u had 🤩
You need a couple of Marine buddies to call on occasions as this! We can fix anything on a Harley with a BFH, a chisel, and a pair of vise grips!! BWAAAHAHAHAHA!!!
I really enjoy listening to you explain 😌. And of course how you feel about your Beer 🍺 lol. Thanks
It’s romantic.
The entertainment just keeps on keeping on.
That’s the goal!
Makes me feel better on my exhaust. Had some 3/8 and 1/2” rebar finished with 1” conduit and bout a case later and the next day. I wondered why I did that
You were successful!
You Sir are HILARIOUS!!!! Iam glad I found this channel unfortunately I can not afford HD ATM but it is a goal I will reach right now I have a V-star please dont hate on me too much. THANK YOU for what you do these videos are work and I appreciate the time you have put in making them.
I have a 3ft metal 3/4 inch rod sharpened on one end specifically for that purpose Works great. The Proudtexson.
I used to drill holes or and take out baffles back in the 70s . Just sounds better a little louder.
Back in the '80s one of my friends took a big hole saw and welded a Long rod to it, put it in the drill and drilled away until it punched through, I used to set off car alarms in the parking lot it was loud
Damm those are some sweet looking machines.
Thanks!!!
Cool channel brother, 😎...you can also drill about 3 or 4 1/2" wholes thru the plate. Thatll let some air thru as well as give a good sound.
Pounding it was working better than I thought. I could see while I was editing...
When I saw the video title, I thought "Hey, perfect. Now I have something to do Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately, now I have to wait until you figure it out. THANKS for attempting to save my cheap ass some money.
I should've filmed it but I did this testing last year, first I opened up the center of the baffle on my 20 road glide, sound barely changed, then I cut the whole baffle out with a small cut off wheel, sound was obnoxious (not in a good way at all) my 107 had about as much power as my old 88 twinkly. Then i installed dk's thunder torque inserts and now the sound is great and the powers a bit more then stock, it's been over a year and i don't think I'll put aftermarket pipes on until I go big cubes someday.
You should film that and how you did it. If you don't want to we could do it on the Pro Monkey channel. There are a lot of people out there that want to go modded factory pipes.
@@ProfessionalMonkey that would be a cool update to this older video, especially seemings how I saved the baffles I removed, so the people would be able to see what they are trying to accomplish. Instead of a deep dark hole
I’m getting a 2024 heritage classic. was thinking of leaving the stock pipes. I’m 55 and kind of sick of the noise lol
Can we get shirts that says Back to pounding nothing else it makes me feel good. Lol
Beer and power tools 😆😂
Just wanted to thank you for all the laughter
That’s the goal is just to have fun.
So glad that it’s not just me that shit happens every time I try to do something never works out right
That was fun lol thanks for a laugh
Fun Fact (that feels oddly appropriate with this video): 70's porn music (bowchickabowwow) is made by playing an electric guitar, with a clean signal, through a wah pedal.
1 in hole saw and a 12 in extension from Lowes works like a charm..... the cat however is another video
New softails the cats are in the mufflers. Thankfully they havent really changed since 2017 so exhausts are plentiful.
I tried to drill it out also and it was alot of work with what I had in my garage. I did get her opened up a bit and it did sound better but nothing like a new set of pipes. And I broke all my stuff too :-(
when I went to rebuild our back deck, told my wife I will need more tools. a 12" dewalt miter saw, a 10" dewalt table saw. 2, 20 volt dewalt impact drills. a dewalt electric planer. and dewalt orbital saw. and a level. I think I got the deck covered now honey.
That was "strategically" brilliant.
ok, got the notebook out.
1. Card
2. Spoke....
oh, so not that easy then?
Takes many years of study...
Alcohol, sheep, vibrator, pounding..........
Thought I clicked that hub channel again.........
By mistake, of course!
That’s my “other” channel
OMG! But hey I watched to the end, I can only say is I love the real world how things usually go type videos they are just freaking Great! But what I found I like is the CVO screaming eagle mufflers that have the end caps they came on the last of the twin cam models you can die grind off a couple welds pull the baffle out and replace it with a full sac baffle and call it a day. But Cycle Shack made ones that sounded better in my opinion. Love your videos
I cut mine out. I can send you pics.. and a baffle if you want.. I used dremmel with cut off wheel and cut the weld.. worked good
Dremel would work great also.
A long breaker bar with all the extensions you have with a impact socket on the end and beat that past the clog. If you crack anything, Lifetime warranty!
leave that restrictor piece, there is an issue when you have your muffler to open called reversion, warm air will flow back up the pipe and cause the exhaust cycle of the lifter to no fully expel the used air. causes increased heat, and lower torque (you want back PRESSURE, not back FLOW). that restrictor stops that from happening. instead remove the catalectic converter from the head pipe. sometimes you can fish it out of the pipe or cut the side of the pipe and clear it out. that will increase sound, keep airflow how it should be, and open it just enough to increase a little HP with minimal loss to the torque. this will also help lower the running temp, ESPECIALLY felt heat from the pipe on your leg as the cat tends to get really hot. they even sell things similar to that restrictor for performance gains on pipes that are too open.
Good input. I have heard of cutting the pipe, removing the cat then welding up a patch.
After taking the baffle out, you need to install thunder torque inserts to eliminate the reversion. Reversion causes a power loss.
Yup 44° is to cold to ride without the right shit. Lmao
Probably won't work, but would be interesting if possible 🤔
I want to replace my slip ons with 6 inch hollow pipes, the tones ought to be loud & low
Are used to 2 1/2 inch hole saw To cut the back of the muffler out and removed all the fiberglass packing
7 into a twelve pack after putting a clutch pack tonight and this vid well worth a laugh or tow
Wish I would have been there. As a 9 year veteran maintenance technician, amateur blacksmith, shadetree mechanic, and former carpenter.....I may have been able to help.
I should note that when I say veteran, I do not mean military veteran, I simply mean that I am a very experienced maintenance technician.
What you have to do is cut the weld at the end of the tip with a hole saw. That’s it. That’s all it takes. I did the ones on my 19 road glide while it was on the bike. I think it sounds great but it is loud.
Buy Milwaukee 18v tools you won’t be disappointed, craftsman isn’t what it used to be. Also hole saw extensions and you can find all this at the Home Depot
I really was hoping that you would be able to punch out that crimped baffle. Maybe you can do part two of this video and actually put these on a bike and do a sound test. Thanks you for trying.
Drink some beer and pound it! Love it bro.
That's the plan!
3 1/2” hole saw on the end cap baffles will come out
Day 27 ! Blahha. Keep up with slamming on the baffles,
I just ordered some Rineharts. Guess I coulda saved some money🤑. Nah, a finger & drill motor would probably have cost more, LOL🤣
HA!!!
What grown men come up with when left on our own...lmfao hold my beer watch this..oh he forgot to have someone hold his beer lol
🤣🤣🤣👊🏻 great , man you make my day , I should change the shocks on my Sportster ,think I’ll do it Professional Monkey style 💪🏻
Oh god do it better than that.
@@ProfessionalMonkey what ! following your instructions gets the job done 🤣🤣 big problem bigger hammer 💪🏻
Time for a nice new milwaukee drill
And... giggity
😆
Seems better to just use long drill bit, open the end of the cones and leave fiberglass in tact….question is without fiberglass would the chrome start to turn blue over time if operated in low speed op
A landscapers " rock bar " it's long and heavy with a pointed end and punches a 1 1/8" hole in less than a minute
Pound town in the title was misleading. Wow wasn't really sure what was going on. Drinking? Sheep? Beating the shit out of something long and hard (at least 9 inches)? OH i get it baffle removal. LOL
I was trying to manage expectations.
It will all go away with more beer!
Swing it like u have a pair. Lol
Yay let’s all go to pound town lol
All aboard!!!
I was there on the 13th so it wasn't me😂😂😂
I’ve actually cut the end weld like you talked and removed the inner parts or baffle. It’s not that hard really.
I used a small cut off disk with a rechargeable drill. Take your time and slowly and evenly cut the weld and the baffle unit comes loose. Twist and pull the baffle out.
Drilled the baffles out of my stock mufflers on a "99 RK I bought new only to find that I hated the weird sound I got and I felt that the bike lost power. Lesson learned. Never again. Rendered the mufflers completely useless.
Yeah, pretty much the same sound as your Indian.
Save the drill for the sheep. You want her to have some fun too.
She’s next, ha!!!
lol yep.... a good video on backyard engineering.
Dumb Question, i note your BACA hat is kinda Black & White and Silver, is that because your in Charlie's Territory ? Cause BACA up here is Red and white and Black. I have a funny pipe story, i had a 2006 FLSTFI (Fatboy) i traded even for a 2006 Mustang, and i went to drill out the Baffles, the Dealer didn't tell me the bike was from California........well the lower pipe was a Catalectic converter that ate thru 2 steel cutting hole saws and me and a buddy took the muffler off tried to jam thru a huge steel rod, nothing, so we said screw it and took a band saw to the muffler and thats when we realized it was the CAT!! Went to a buddy's shop and bought some V&H 2 into 1 pro pipes and it was done.
Nope colors are red white and black everywhere. Mine says BACA on the side in red.
Too bad you didn't have a long pipe at the right diameter
Genuine question why not just take the whole baffle out?
Try long heavy pry bar.
Are u sure that the ring on the drill is set to drill and not ratchet mode ? Also it’s called a chuck. Also I almost took my thumb off hammering one of them out. Got multiple stitches. My thumb ended up between the pipe and the hammer
It doesn’t have a ratchet mode, it’s broke. Glad you still have all your digits!
@@ProfessionalMonkey bummer. It was worth a shot
Nice hat. Bros a member.
2.1.3.1.
Good work I think..lol 👍🏻🇦🇺
Craftsman = Lifetime warranty Dang, where is that Sears store
Hit it like you mean it
Like it owes you money!
Having fun but I am being paid by the hr.
Is that a screw top beer can??? Never seen that before, not down here anyway.🇦🇺
Yup! Aluminum pint!
Excellent...that should become some kind of world wide standard!🐵🍻👍
Best laid plans of mice and men!
I use a hole saw
I did it on the bike. But beer is good
If you don’t care about the pipe, sawzall it in half and look at it and come up with a plan for someone else to use.
Pounding it would work, as I was editing I could see where the baffle was opening just by pounding it.
15 inch drill bit drill drill drill drill drill😂😂😂🤩🤛💣💥
Hey silverback don't knock yourself out
I’m trying!
