Power cones

Has anyone used these power cones or know if they help make your bike run better or are they just a joke

Do you mean the torque cones you install in the head of drag pipes to help reduce torque loss? If so, yes, they work quite well. Many members including myself have installed them in our drag pipes with great results. There are better exhaust systems for power, but if you are like me and will have no other exhaust on a Harley than the sweet sound of blasting drag pipes, then yeah....the cones work well.

Old school that works in certain situations...
there IMO a patch to fix something thats broke and used instead of fixing right....

I tryed them in with my Rinehart 2to1s it helped, but made my bike run HOT, like bake your ***** off hot!

ended up switching to a D&D fatcat and tossed the cones. worked out way better.

Power cones, Torque cones, Anti Reversion cones...same critter...

If you're running drag pipes with no baffles, they help a little bit...

Other than that, the builders and wrenches I know say they have no use for 'em...
