Default Power Cones?

Im running vance and hines head pipes with samson drag fishtails with baffles. Anyone know if running some power cones would do anything for me? My other question is my handle bars which are now 16" apes move when I hit a hard bump. Are there any tricks to fastening them down tighter? Ive cranked down pretty good and I have thought about putting some rubber or something underneath the clamp but wanted to check with yall first. I appreciate it in advance.

The power cones are for pipes running no baffles. I had them in my Samson Rip Saws, which were 1-3/4 OD drag pipes. My SE Fat Boy ran great with that setup. I just couldn't take the excessively loud exhaust.

I believe power cones create back pressure when installed...thus helping your lower power end.

so does that mean that the baffles im running along with the power cones would be counter productive?

I am no expert...but IMO it could create to much back pressure...anything is possible. What is going on with your bike? These guys on this forum probably can answer any questions if your problems that you are experiencing.

I am running the powercones and it has helped my lower end power.

I believe their initial application was "anti-reversion", or spent gases being sucked back into the combustion chamber at high rpm, but once some good marketing people get ahold of it it becomes common knowledge that it also treats erectile dysfunction and cures male pattern baldness....
