Can I knock out my baffles on my OEM pipes of my 2005 V-star custom to get more volume (loud pipes saves lives) I live in the hills and want the deer to hear me coming. I don't want to offset othr features of the bike looking for loud.

If you knock out the stock baffles you will lose backpressure which will ofset other features of the bike. Get a good set of aftermarket straight pipes with baffles . You wont be disapointed

It doesnt help. A buddy of mine wrecked his Harley hitting a deer and he had shorties on his bike. If theyre going to run out, they will run out. I dont think deer care or think too much about anything.....lol.

I saw something on another forum about a device which you can fit to your bike that emmits a noise, inaudible to humans, that frightens the deer off. Sorry I can't be more specific. It might be worth a search.

**** Deer....dumber than a box of rocks...the only thing that scares them is that deer piss hunters put on to kill em!! My bike is deafiningly loud, Samson Street sweepers straight through and they don't even flinch when I pop it! This is why we eat them /emoticons/emotion-5.gif

Those don't work either. If you really want to try them, I can send you the busted up ones from my collision with deer (they were on my car)....

I find that my motorcycle exhaust sound scares them alot more than those little pieces of crap. I haven't ridden around and night in the country all that much, but when I do, the deer seem to scatter pretty well ahead of me.
