    After much deliberation with myself and trying to figure out which piece to get I was scouring fleabay and managed to stumble upon a dealer selling an open box, never installed pair of arrow twins in the US for $500 USD. It was too good to pass up. I've never heard any of you complain about the high mount arrows so I know I couldn't go wrong. Now for the hard part waiting for them on my doorstep...

    sounds a good price as long as shipping don't cost too much,watch you don't get screwed for import charged i got charged heavily for n.o.s klr 650 rear shock by post office.

    Luckily I live in the US and the shop is in the US so no import charges. I did pay a solid $45 for shipping which sucks but at $545 still less than half the cost of a brand new one from Triumph or any equivalent exhaust.

    It finally showed up! And like the excited child I am I immediately grabbed my tools a made a line for my bike. What tools did you guys use to pull the baffles? And do you do anything special to keep them shiny and nice looking?

    No experience myself but did see YouTube videos of baffle removal,in one I seen a spring hook getting used like the type that gets used for exhaust springs,now I remember you are in the states you may find you have the arrows with non removable baffles somebody with more knowledge would maybe have more accurate info but I would assume there would be a grubscrew or similar if baffles are removable.

    They are the removable type. The US has way more lax rules on exhausts haha. The baffles are held in by a screw that is tack welded in and don't own a dremel type tool to grind it away so I was looking for alternatives.

    Just unbolt them the tack weld ain't that strong. Then tap them out with a broom handle. That's how I did mine

    Yep, the pre Euro4 bikes/exhaust were just tack welded screws in the UK too, Dremel'd mine but as Jonesy says the weld is tiny so probably would break if you lent on the torx wrench a bit. The baffles are best knocked out with the cans removed from bike and broom handled from the engine end. Some guys have tried fishing the baffles out in situ with a bent wire coat hanger hooked in one of the baffle holes - but not always been successful.

    Thats what I ended up doing. I had to get torx keys because there wasn't enough space to squeeze the one I have in. I tried the coathanger and after an extended period of swearing I took them off and a firm punch from the back with a broom they popped out. I love the noise it makes without the baffles makes me grin every time.

    You might find this helpful if your fitting aftermarket exhausts.
