Thanks very much, I thought I'd seen/heard it somewhere that you shouldn't run without the db killer, but that video is unfamiliar, perhaps tec re-did one of their videos and edited it.

George Milburn of TEC has stated here and there that the dB killer supports the internal baffle and that if not used, the baffle should be spot welded.  He also said that this may lead to earlier failure of the baffles.  I suspect that may be due to differential thermal expansion with both ends constrained.

I would run the can without any baffle or perforated tube. That's where the power is.
The perf tube breaks all the wave action that should be available from the reverse megaphone shape. With the perf tube in, the shape of the can is just for looks.

In my location, the louder sound is not an issue, and I prefer to use the exhaust to maximun benefit.

I agree
Plus the larger tube size and decat should in theory help the 865 once these parts are ready to install

One hole down. One to go

Stepping up from theory  ... cool.

Good pics, I've been following your build with great interest. The pictures show clearly the oil pump  chain drive, elsewhere I have recently seen a respected bike restorer criticise it as being a potential weak point. I really rate my Interceptor and find i enjoy it more than any bike I've ridden in years.

Rockers off

The head is unbolted and off

[Gremlinsteve]

No pic yet of it but removing the head while the motor is in the chasis is damn near impossible
