I personally prefer the baffles out while riding in busy city traffic because if they don't see you they will here you in most cases. That said, I would not be able to handle HWY speeds for long periods of time (more than 2 hours) with the baffles out. Even with the baffles in, long periods of time at HWY speeds require ear plugs, in my humble opinion.
I find starting the screw that secures the baffles extremely difficult to start, and one time, it took me two hours to get those screws started. For that reason, I don't switch them often.
I am curious though about running with one baffle in and with the other out. I wonder what it would be like with the right baffle in and with the left out (while sitting on the bike). Has anyone tried this?
With the stock exhaust on, I had a person step out onto the rode in front of me (about 1 1/2 cars lengths in front of me) because they didn't look, and they didn't hear me coming. Luckily, I missed them, and after that, I went and bought the LVs. I still remember his friend's horrific look on his face as he witnessed what was likely to transpire.
