Brooklands can on a 1947 ES2?

Hello Richard, I fitted a Brooklands can to my 1949 ES2, so identical to your set-up. There is no baffle fitted, it's straight through and sounds gorgeous. My carb is a completely by-the-book standard unfiltered Amal 276 and there is no sign of weak running or other problem associated with a non-standard exhaust silencer. In fact, I have always thought how well, surprisingly well it goes.

There is a drawback. On longer rides, even with a well insulated helmet, the noise........ .......is so fabulous that you don't want to get off the bugger. I went up the shop to get the paper yesterday and did a round trip of 50 miles. The shop is 3/4 mile away.

Give it a handful!

Hello Ian and Adam,

By all means, run that Brooklands can if you want, it's your bike!

Adam's comment about the drawback just sounds like further enticement to me, when I first took newly acquired 1958 19s out for a real ride, I didn't come home for many hours, naturally my loving wife wondered where I had gone off to, I told her "The Old Man just wanted to look around" we've called the big thumper "The Old Man" ever since.

Cheers!
