Hello all,

Looking for a set of slip-ons that are designed to accommodate easily removable baffles and also looking for two sets of baffles - one set legal and one set not so legal (but not excessively or obnoxiously loud due to daily commuting and loud pipes get annoying).

The idea is one set of baffles would restrict the noise level to within legal limits of 94 decibels and the other set would be less restrictive.

My understanding is the Australian authorities have an anti-tampering strategy in place where they photograph suspected defective pipes (due to suspected a breach of noise limits) and share the images with technicians at the testing station.

To beat the anti-tampering strategy - no matter which baffles are inserted - the pipes would need to appear identical.

Has anyone implemented this solution?

I was never harassed when I had Competition slip ons on the V-Rod Muscle, but my new bike being a Low Rider S I probably going to attract more Police attention because it's a bit of a wannabe gangster look. 

Some people - both in and outside the Harley riding community - don't even realise V-Rods are Harley's so I drew less of the wrong attention I suppose.

Thanks. ??

Mongo, did you live in Tasmania when you were young?

The only legal pipes are standard ones and the baffles are not easily removed.

I supose you could get a second set of standard pipes and hunch a hole in the end of the baffle cap.

Nomada has probably the best solution, even though it means changing mufflers every time. Maybe another option is to go somewhere like Motorcycle Exhaust Professionals and get them to make a set of removable baffles that can be swapped easily with the originals. Those guys can do just about anything with pipes that you want.

There is a Serial number on the Stock Mufflers, It is noted by the Tester, No Serial Number, No Pass

Thanks for the clarification Wimbo.

I was wondering if it was a joke as the police tend not to be as vigilant (compared to other states) in dishing out fines for loud bikes there.

Oh sorry Wimbo, I can be a bit of a retard sometimes when it comes to interpreting the tone of a conversation, which can be a challenge online.

 I thought you were saying tongue-in-cheek Tamanians are Mongoloids. They are all in-breads etc. 

"In Tassie, the men and boys are separated with crobar."

I recently bought a bike when wanted to ride it stock and take my time seeking removable parts for touring and occasionally going two-up. 

One of the HOG boys suggested I post queries on this HD Forum rather than the HOG forum due to its limited exposure.

"Mongo" came about in this HD Forum because I suppose it was on my mind and happened to be available when I registered an account.

Only done 800km so far. Pitiful. 

I never named previous bikes. It's not a fuckin' boat. Not sure why I did this time around. 

Here is it before it got dirty:

Never had a pic taken of my pipes as they got me as I went by. I believe most ppl have two sets of pipes if they run loud ones as I do. The set you have on when you're caught on your way "to the track" and the ones you use "normally everyday officer". When you go in for epa test they note down your serial no. And do the paperwork, pay ya $ and off you go to post it all in. If you want a epa place in the SE burbs that's sympathetic to the cause PM me.
