Manxman exhaust

Forums

Does anyone know or can anyone tell, if these are actually for the Manxman?  I understood it had a unique exhaust.

These silencers do indeed look like those as fitted to the 1961 range of Manxman 650 bikes. They had horizontal seams, looked like a standard Dominator silencer on its side but 0.5" thicker and had Norton stamped on the hanger flange. If these are original then they are very rare.

I asked the vendor about the flange and received this reply

"This set is not embossed with the norton logo."

The attached photos are from this sellers first eBay Advert.  As you can clearly see......one is sporting the Norton logo on both sides of the flange. Of interest is that the other silencer is very similar in structure but around 10cm shorter and does not have the logo.  Perhaps it comes from an AMC bike.

This ebay sale was ended abruptly, yesterday, and the same seller is now offering two Manxman style silencers of equal length but without the Norton logos.

Bearing in mind the very expensive postal rates from the states this sale may not be the bargain it looks. If you are looking for a set of reproduction Manxman silencers then contact Tony Curzon.

I believe Anna Dixon looked closely into the Manxman silencer and exhaust pipe issue, so I think it would be worth checking with her

Attachment shows a pair of the proper silencers.

Talking with Anna may be difficult as she informs me that she has been forced out of membership

of the NOC.

I never heard from the Vendor and didn't take just one.  Anna has my bike in her registry, I know she is/was on Facebook somewhere. 

Thanks,

....is also on LinkedIn, that's where I last had any contact with her. She says she will not be renewing her NOC membership, for well-publicised reasons.
