I could see that coming just from looking at those "mufflers" in the pics. Good one!

Cromagnon, tell the OL sorry when I get a few beers in me.....
btw I'm outta Gloucester county

Twizted, I have anti reversion cones(since the 90's) in they brought back the bottom end BIG TIME! The pipes cost me 128.00 in 94, and 25.00 for the power cones. LOL

Thanks again for all the comments!

Might be funny to send this vid around work, especially if you work in one of those cube farms. Heh,Heh,Heh
Those cones work real well with EVOs particularly after they took 20 lbs off the flywheels , compensates nicely for the loss of grunt torque in the lower end rpms .

It's fine but cold. Should get some riding in tomorrow.
When November rolls around, I always find myself wishing I was back in VA. Taking a ride down to Williamsburg and Yorktown, or around Matthews County. Glad you mentioned those cones, I'll put some on my next pipes.
Funny video man, funny. Well done Scratt.
