Honda Valkyrie Drive By with Cobra Exhaust, No Baffles

We went for a nice ride today before the rain is coming in tomorrow. I wanted to get another drive by done without the baffles, unfortunately it happened on a road that was too short to go through all gears.
As a bonus I got a nice surprise from my buddy.... 👍🏻

    That Harley playing with you sounded like a lawnmower mower compared to the Valkyrie. The Valkyrie sounds remarkably similar to an air cooled N/A 911 which means it sounds freaking amazing.

    ​@@mtguz23 Ask 3 other people and you will probably get 3 different opinions on this topic. I put the pipes on, tried both sets of needles and went back to stock. I still have to put the bike on a dyno to see how much power I lost due to the pipes and no baffles. I don't feel a difference to the stock pipes. She takes me to where I wanna go, starts up nice every time and runs smooth. No need to fix anything that ain't broken. Cobras with baffles have an amazing sound above 4k rpm. Without the baffles it's just... so much different. I uploaded a video when I started her for the first the time after taking the baffles out. Couldn't stop smiling, hehe ;-)

    There is no power loss with the cobras. They flow air no differently than stock. The myth that the lack of back pressure makes it lose 10 hp is false. If you get rid of back pressure you don’t lose power, you gain it.

    A "pain in the ass" in what sense? Maintenance? Just ride the bike regularly and everything will be fine. There's a device out there called "DigiSync" to synchronize the carbs. Get a Valkyrie, you will love it! Regular maintenance on this bike can be done by yourself, you just have to keep riding it and enjoying it ;-)
