vintage6t, The wholesaw rig you made you sounds similar to the ones I have seen pictured on this site. I just drilled a bunch of 3/8" holes around the center pipe and then connected the dots with screwdriver and hammer.The end plate is very thin so this took very little time and effort. The remaining ring of metal is only attached by three or four tack welds, again short work for your screwdriver and hammer. After drilling three 9'16" holes in the next end plate I was not satisfied so I ended up removing the next baffle altogether using pretty much the same technique as the first baffle removle. I now have exactly the sound I was looking for, the bike runs great and I did'nt have to mess with the carbs. I hope this helps, good luck and have fun!
