Ed, I tacked 1" washers in the baffles of my SSs. First I put just one in at the front... still waaay to loud for my liking. Then I tacked another at the rear of the baffle... better but still too loud. What gets to me is a sort of shriek heard just under the roar of the pipes. I finally gave up and put my TORs back on.
I hear what you say about the look. Your bike looks fantastic with those SSs on it.
