Update time, have been called away by work to Ipswich till Saturday hence I haven't been able to post updates, internets not too good. But I shall be working on the baffles on Sunday and am aiming to get them out by Monday :)
Update. I have sorted out getting the right tube which will be here Tuesday, everything else for the kit (nuts bolts etc) i have so everything is still on track. I have also carried on testing the MK2 baffle and can confirm that it spits flame like a goodin, i for one think this is a good thing...
Right another quick up date on progress, i was ahead of time however just got the tube material today and found to my dismay that they have sent me the wrong size. It is too big to work with so busy trying to get that sent back, however this shouldn't effect the delivery because like i say i was...
Quick update, i have got 7 orders but i have ordered enough material to do 10 baffle for this batch so 3 more orders can be taken and they will get the baffle within the 2 weeks. Also Clint the baffle weighs dead on 200g so you could fit 100 baffles in the 20kg allowance :). I shall keep...
PM me Cabby also stick your address on it as well so i know were to ship it, then i will pass you my paypal emails. :) As for mount i can ship to Auss i will have to see what they way when i get back home and i can then get back to you Clint :) I have two confirmed orders, if people can get...
There will be a A2 stainless nut, bolt and washer included with the baffle so all thats required is to drill the hole, fit and enjoy the exhaust note :)
Right after crunching the numbers and so on i have come to a price of £23 + 3.50 P&P for UK. I will have to look into prices for sending overseas but i don't see it being a problem so i will PM you people with you shipping separate. You will get the baffle, instructions and all the fixings...
Right if thats the case then i will work out the final costs and post that later today and order material to make up the baffles. Of course all the people who requested one on this post will get first dibs. :)
The first one did take longer then i was expecting, surprisingly drilling the mounting hole took the most time and around 4 drill bits being stainless. I don't have a pillar drill you see. However i do know the mounting holes can sometimes be off with these back boxes. I know mine was because i...
Here is a quick video of the baffle in the exhaust and a comparison between no baffle and baffle :) The sound isn't really picked up on the camera but the DB meter picks it up well.

So here is baffle mark two, this picture was taken just after i made it minus the hole for the mounting screw. A lot of swearing but it came out alright. Lighter then the machined one so i think i will be using a mk2 myself. Did get a chance to test it last week end but it's meant to be sunny...
Haha i know that feeling hence why i got it matched. Knew it would fit first time because of how the tolerances can be managed. Now the likely hood is the mk2 baffle I'm working on will be finished before a machined one can be done. If you can hold on just a few more weeks i don't think you will...
Right another quick update. I'm busy at the moment experimenting flaring the first test baffle. Looks like i might have to increase the tolerances a bit due the the flaring been a bit non-uniform, only by 0.2-0.5mm so not much. I don't think this should effect the performance of the baffle at...
It's based on the same design just made out of a stainless steel exhaust tube which is expanded at certain points to form the shape instead of machining. The result should be a lighter and cheaper baffle.
Quick update, materials will be here next week so once i have that i will start forming the first baffle. I will once i am finished i will stick it on my bike and do a few long rides to test it our fully. Then we should be all go, as for shipping for shipping oversees, i don't see why not would...
Ok then good response. Once i have my next prototype (looks like it will be after the holidays now:( ) i will test it and get some pictures on the site ASAP along with the final pricing and lead time. Once i have done that i will start on getting a batch of 5-10 made up. The ones who have posted...
progressing, just started a new job so been busy getting back into the swing things so sorry for the late update.
At present I have the new design, the major change being I'm going away from it being machined and moving towards forming the baffle from a single stainless pipe. One worry I have...
Engineer1 once i have a finalized design i will give you a message. Just sorting out a few job related things first before i move onto the cheaper design. I can say after having it is for over a month now i am over the moon with the new baffle design. One of the designs i was looking at before...
Verdict is perfect. It's loud but it takes out the sharpness of the tone if it's straight through. It spits flame, not as much as straight through but enough to put a smile on my face. I have attached a picture of the baffle installed.
i also think It looks good as well. :)
