Exhaust idea ???
got some shorty 17'' reverse cone megas from an old Brit bike and a set of shorty Tulip style megas from an old britbike ,, thinkinng of fitting them on my Monster 750 and old 750ss they are straight through and being steel they will give a nice BOOM more than the Carbon fibre cans on now ,, only 1.5 kg heavier , and looks an easy fit
what do you think ?

Go for it Jerry, I had a pair of 'Anglo bike' short reverse cone meggas on my first 'big' bike - a 1970's Triumph Tiger 750, they sounded amazing to an 18 year old hooligan in the early 80's

I have a pair of these in the garage, I had intended to fit them to my s2r but never got around to it before deciding I preferred my OE cans.
You may have to find some form of short angled link pipe for no other reason than to get them to sit at a nice angle to the bike but I do like reverse cones as a look.

Not actually wanting to be negative, but I used to really hate the short reverse cone megas when fitted to 500/650 twins back in the day, they made a horrible waffley sound at low revs. My preference was always the big bore goldie silencers, although the 1950s Triumph sausage pipes made a pleasant sound too.

Well! difficult to find a positive.
They were cheap and nasty back in the day and there's no excuse today. I did once try a pair of those ridiculous tulip things on a Bonnie about 40 years ago (maybe more) I came home after the first ride with them stuffed down my jacket and covered with gravel rash. (The tulips, not me.) The bike rejected them and I don't blame it. I've blown up a few reverse cone megas. I fired the innards of one though a following ford escort's windscreen at about a ton on a dual carriageway. I did get a modified pair to stay together on a Honda 175 I rebuilt sometime in the stone age. Trouble was that it used a bit of oil and the wadding used to catch fire every now and then and leave a huge cloud of smoke and sparks as I caned it down the road, getting louder as I went. Burgess Silencers are nice on a Triumph, but I did try a pair of export Burgess on a 750 once and they were too loud. The long UK ones do sound nice but are heavy. Best silencers of all on Nortons or Triumphs are the Norton Peashooters. Now available to fit various size pipes and come in a tasty de-seamed version. Often toyed with the idea of trying to fit a pair of those on a Monster. Not sure if you're approaching retirement or puberty Jerry? But chuck those horrid things in the bin.

By them tulip things I'm thinking you're referring to what we used to call "chopper stacks", we used to joke about the local bonnie boys who all fitted said stacks, q. What ticks over on one and runs on two? a bonnie with chopper stacks.

I think it's these that we're talking about?
see you can still buy them but I think there's a typo on the ad? It says £65. I think it should be £6.50.
