Thunder Monster baffles are a way to flush $80+ down the toilet. Go to your local hardware store and get:
A couple 1/4" thumbscrews or, 1" flat washers and 1/4" eye bolts. Drill a hole, mount, and stick $78 in your gas fund.
Google for "lollipop drag pipes". They only thing they've done is weld them into pipe sleeves and tried to pass them off as a unique product. Guys have been doing this for decades.

This is the same thing I posted about at the start of this thread. Go to the first page and you can see a picture of this. And he is right you will save a lot of money. If you need some close up pics lets me know.

It's worth noting that even the "best" dyno run there with lollipop style baffles in drag pipes resulted in a pretty significant power drop at low-mid RPMs. Something to be aware of if you intend to run drag pipes.

Alright good info but I ride alot on the interstate and it seems like the bike just drinks the hell out of gas. Im not getting any more than about 150-160 miles to a 5 gallon tank. My stepmoms 3.3 gallon 883L can get about 180 before she starts getting nervous about refuelling. Still got torque cones in the headpipes and no baffles, just wandering if putting the baffles back in or trying the lollipop method might increase my mileage a little bit better.
