I am pleased to report that the second set of baffles came out with little trouble. I used bbq tongs to grab the pipe coming out of the baffle plate and pulled them right out. I think I'm going to stop there for now on the pipes. Many thanks to everyone who helped me out. (Next comes the air filter mods and rejetting (I'm sure I'll have questions when I get around to that project).
