Default true duels and torque cones

All the talk recently with loss of low end torque when switching to duels, would the use of torque cones help?

Any loss of torque with true-duals is so small you dont notice it. It's at the low end, and high end performance improved on my bike.

The bike looks better and runs cooler.

No idea whether cones help or not...never heard of it.

i converted my 01 RK to true duals and felt no difference in performance. just better balanced sound. i believe the Twin Cam heads are designed with a torque cone design already there.
