Hey there my first post on this, as I just bought an '06 800 drifter.  So this bike has shotguns with no baffles, I got to say way too loud for me, and I'm already looking at picking up some baffles for it.  I really wish it still had the stock exhaust, with that fishtail on the end, but the PO ditched it for some reason.  Anyway, the thing is running way too lean – apparently they didn't reject the carb for these open pipes -- so it really doesn't want to take the gas at all.  Now my question is this, when I put baffles in, should that get it close enough to the OE back pressure that I don't need to do any tweaking of the carb?  In other words, I want the bike to run richer than it does, and at the same time I plan to make it a little "constipated" ;D and I want to know if that action alone will make it perform like I want it to?  Thanks for all your help.
Tom
