Baffles were pressed in so you need a bearing or wheel puller to get them out.

Me too. This video is my Classic. I also have them on the TC. Love the sound. My baffles came out using pliers and a little wiggle.

Yeah I thought it to be a bit too loud without them ... Freedom also offers a 'Quiet Baffle' I tried them ... and almost immediately took them back out and put the 'regular' ones back in ... IMO don't bother with thatAs an update, I removed my Freedom baffles, started the bike up ... and immediately put them back on.
