what do you think about the sound of the drilled out muff. I have a dyna I am thinking about drilling. Does it affect performance (at least that you can tell) and does it sound louder and deeper? I have a completly hollow sportster muff that sounds great but is way too loud. Looking for something with a similar tone, but without the volume.

just a gremlin i guess(need to ring the gremlin bell) havent a a miss since that morning..
50f mornings 95f afternoons very very low humidity makes er run different at different times..
my current muff is a 90s model sportster(h.d. 4 sure)
with the slot type mount not the tab..bought a drill bit extension and have two 11/32 holes drilled in the disk
think im done .. loud enough when shes spurred, quiet
enough @ idle and cruising speed @ half throttle... 8)

I too have a Sportster muff I have to fit, and I too would like to drill the baffle.
I thought a 1/2" (12-13mm) would do the trick, now I see you have two 11/32" holes...
How did you get to do the holes, tap in an extension or what?

How did you rejet? My carb is still stock.

Thanks

Maurizio

drill bit extension from the hdwre store they come in different lengths female end has two allen screws to hold your bit..... holes are off center..have a hd muff with 5/8 or 3/4 hole way too much for me..

i bought the dyno kit... its much more cost effective to do the spacer mod and rejet with mikuini jets..
no back fire on shut down some good pops on hard deceleration... can controll with longer roll ups to the stop..
id start with a 1/4 hole first.. ride er and listen  you can always go bigger.... hard to get the muff to fit in the oven if you want to cook a JB weld plug in too big a hole....plus it would be a pita to get the jb that far inwithout smearing it all over the walls of the core... 8)
