Hi Bagger,
those Big Shot duals have the stock baffles in them and yes they do have a loudness to them but not so much that it bothered me or the wife when we rode from Okc to Kansas City on a Saturday and rode back on Sunday. About 700 miles round trip. I will say that we were wearing helmets on the way up but on the way back it was so hot (close to 105 degrees) that I was just wearing the ol' dew wrag. I guess its a personal thing but I like the way they sound and unless the laws start getting strict I won't opt for the quiet baffles. However, if you listen to the stereo a lot then it might be a bit of a problem.
Thanks for the welcome Bagger and Jock, this place sure seems to be full of friendly people, and thats a good thing
