Question Can anyone show me how to modify Gil risers?

I have the early style long risers but am still having reversion issues. Does any one have photos of the best way to modify these. I have some ideas but don't need to reinvent the wheel.

Thanks!

You need the later style risers that have more rise at the bend/ The only other option is to weld in an angled dam along the bottom inside the risers.

dgoodman,
What do these header look like. I played with a set years ago and I just extended the inner pipe out the end about 1.5" .. that solved a huge reversion problem. It might help you also.. Just need a pic of what you have now to compare to what I did.. I may have some pics but they would be photos. Would have to scan them if I do have any..

Lets see a pic of what you have..

i have a set of dry pipes i cut to gils specs. the only problem is that they dont have the same bend... so i had to machine wedges. but they are LOUD so im tryinh to get the normal gil style now. you intrested. they are long as hell. i can send you pics. and you name a price. theu were dry pipes in the beginning but since i cut them they act like normal pipes. and i welded a dam in the bottom to ensure water flow over the top of the pipe.
