A guy that I work with use to build and drag race Harleys.
He suggested I use torque cones, because I'm running non-baffled Vance and Hines
Longshots, to regain some back pressure.
Does anybody have any experience or thoughts on this...
Regards aralph
That would probably be a good solution. It should help with scavenging, maybe bump the gas mileage up a bit and give you a nice kick in the pants. Seeing as V&H has talked about discontinuing our pipes lately (maybe already has), I don't know how easy they'll be to find though.
I put a set into the collector pipes on my shovel drag bike...They were called anti reversion cones, and they did seem to help the low end a little...It was a 98" S&S dual plug long stroke (5") monster...11.91, 115.7 mph, top of 3rd gear...7,000 rpm! They are cheap, and can't really hurt, so why not try them....
Well I guess I'll try to see whats available and give it a shot.
Will post when I have some results.
Thanks aralph
I'd be interested in the results, even though I don't think I need them for my current bike. It's good to know what works and what doesn't, ya know?
You could always use tunable baffles.
The technology isn't old, it goes back to the 60's - 70's, if you would like to see the dyno's and build a set of your own, go to this site:

Otherwise Gman Industries makes a nice looking set in 3 sizes for different diameter pipes at reasonable prices dnd they're nice to look at.:
