    Hi all
    Has anybody bought the Weslake shorty reverse cones and stainless headers sold by Squaredeals?
    as they seem like good value and will give my 120 the look I`m after, and hopefully the sound as well.
    Cheers
    Al

    Mad cow, I like the predators and they sound great, but they are quite pricey.

    MadMrB, they look good, as I like a lot of noise do you think they are worth the money?
    Cheers

    I've got them on my 1200 Thruxton. They were too loud for me with the baffles out, but are pretty much perfect with them in. Lovely noise, but I have a decat as well, not sure how much difference that makes. They seem well made, look very good, and must give a considerable weight saving.. I would recommend them.

    There used to be a link from Squaerdeals website to a Jack Lilley video of my bike with the baffles out if you want a soundcheck.

    Yes I thought they were good for the money, they are not BC Predator Pro quality but then they are half the price. The only area on mine that didn't appear to be perfect were the welds, they were ok just not polished smooth, which then would have been perfect.

    As has already been mentioned, they are a considerable weight saving over the original silencers. I also got better perfomance as the bike was no longer strangled, which allowed the engine to rev more freely and improve the acceleration. I did get a lot of popping and backfire, until I rejetted and then it was enough to make me smile ;)

    Well, I have called squaredeals today and tried to order the header pipes and the shorty reverse cones for the t120, but the guy said as I wanted the polished version for the t120 the silencers would not fit, as the headers are designed for the street twin so it kicks the silencers up too much so the bracket won't fit to the rear foot rest, :( but if I didn't mind the silencers being satin finish I could have the one's for the street twin :D.
    So I'm back to square one looking for a set of short polished reverse cones that sweep up slightly and perhaps an X pipe.
    So if anyone has any ideas I would be eternally grateful :D

    Firstly welcome. I have just fitted the Dunstall new to the market Norton style reverse cones and they are unbelievable. Well just a little bit naughty but i think i love them. And no baffles to start with well not much anyway.
    Regards
    Joe.

    By way of an update, I went for BC Midi reverse cones in the end, also an X pipe, they sound sweet.
    I had to make a guard to cover the X pipe just to tidy up the underneath
