So I rode my new 2011 Stryker Raven home today.

I LOVE this bike. I traded in my first bike (03 Suzuki Intruder 850) after riding it for a year, and man what an awesome upgrade this is.

I've been lurking on the forums for a few days checking out the mods everyone is doing, and after reading about exhaust drilling took my bike up to a shop and had my exhaust drilled (1/2" 4 holes each, plus I think he put a 1/2" hole in the center, I guess through the baffle). Sounds amazing!

Heya digital11 welcome to the forum. you mad a good choice. Noticed what you said about drilling the baffles. I also drilled mine the 1st or second day I got it. Then a day or 2 later drilled them larger and now I've had it 5 weeks and today I drilled them even larger 1/2 inch. But you said you thought he drilled the center of the baffle. Could you make sure of the and let me know cause if that's possible I would like to do the same.

I'll see if I can get a hold of the guy that drilled them for me and ask. My father in law told me that he drilled out the center as well (with a crazy long 1/2" drill bit)

Welcome to the Forum from Wisconsin!

Toby: To answer your question, it is possible to drill the center of the baffle out completely. I actually did that before putting any other holes in it. I used a 1" hole saw on a long extension. It made a big difference!

It should be fine. I noticed a small difference in decel, but I just started pulling the clutch in sooner.
