blocky Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 (edited) I had decided to replace the rear silencer on my newly acquired 240. The options I considered were... An exact copy of the original from France Trial Classic The WES after market silencer A new silencer manufactured in Italy and on sale on ebay I was tempted by the original copy but the downside was that it was not repackable. The WES silencer is repackable but looks different from the original and is reported to cause slight power loss. The ebay silencer was a complete unknown but after an email to the seller I decided bite the bullet and go down this route. I managed to buy the silencer through ebay but choose to buy through the american site as doing so enabled me to pay in US dolars. Because of the exchange rates, this meant that I made a Edited May 19, 2010 by Blocky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whizzy Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Blocky - that looks a really nice bit of kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axulsuv Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 (edited) Looks pretty solid , Does the packing screen slide out easily to replace the packing when needed ? Looks alot better than the WES I'm running now. I like the way the end caps come off for cleaning . And my Wes has a small whole rubbed in it ... Glenn I wonder if they are making more ? I'll have to contact them ... Edited May 20, 2010 by axulsuv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedronicman Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Hi my mate has just ordered one of these genuine style ones from www.inmotiontrials.com , they are in the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furse Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Im not 100% what it was made for, but I think it was a 125 aprilia road bike, there wasn't a front pipe on silencer. I made that from a piece of stainlees conduit. It isn't repackable but it will do for now. Mudguard is half a 315 montesa and original 200 bottom half.
