What did you do to Your Softail Today?
#9441
Got the bracket i was missing for my white brothers pipe! Had a coooold ride today!
I found some literature about diffuser plates and quickly came to the thought that i MAY not have enough discs. I made a thread in the want to buy section to search for extra plates but so far have not had a reply. So to make up for the discs i dont have, i got clever and increased the spacing with washers. Not perfect but its a place to start from. Weather tommorow should be nicer so i can play around a little. Maybe i wont need washers at all and can get away with just 12 discs.
Current set up definitely produced more torque then what I had with the v&h big shots.
Next spring hopefully I can have the bike properly tuned on a dyno for some real results.

^^^ Nice looking bike! You might look into installing a thumbscrew to prevent reversion...here is a good video on the topic with Dyno sheets.

Again, excellent info that I am sure many people could benefit from! That's why I love this forum.

Thank you and thank you! That's excellent information! I'm pretty sure the closed end cap and diffuser discs are doing exactly what the lollipop does and this is the reason behind the pipes design but this could be something else for me to play with as well.

For sure your discs are taking care of reversion... but for those that run no baffles, I can tell you for sure, you’ll feel the effect of a thumbscrew. It’s crazy to think it works that way but it absolutely does. If someone doesn’t believe me I’ll refund the $1.18 they spent! 😂

Thanks! I really miss forums, Facebook has taken over I’m afraid and you can’t find any good info there. Forums are great for sharing info that can be found later.
