nigel dabster Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Great job and information/explination a longer pipe to deflect away from Mudgaurd would be my only very very small critique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

model80 Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) I exchanged a number of emails with WES last August and at that time they had hoped to have them available through their retail dealers in mid to late Sept '16. Also spoke with InMotion at the same time and they were hoping for the same as well. Must send a follow up email to WES Edited January 11, 2017 by model80 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
model80 Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) Just to follow up, I made enquiries with WES and they are now available through their listed dealers. I also contacted InMotion and they confirmed that they are now available and will have them listed on the website from later today.

smelling123 Posted January 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 £149, pretty good value I'd say - it's £100 for a fairly simple straight silencer... https://www.inmotiontrials.com/product/bultaco-sherpa-wes-alloy-silencer/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinnshock Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 I appreciate these comments put me in the poser category and a bit of a luddite but who cares. As a Young lad I attended my first Trial in 1976. This was I think the East Anglian National fore runner of the Colchester clubs present day Phil King Trial. The most common bike being ridden were Bultaco and for me the look of the bike was love at first site. A love never lost. One of the things that attracted me was the strange shape exhaust with that unique club foot and the two round outlet stubs. I still regularly drive past the site where that Trial started and finished back in 76 and every time my mind takes me back as I can still see in my mind the riders on the final section, a steep climb near vertical at the top. These after market exhausts may perform better and easier to repack but you will never see the original replaced on one of my bikes.

Stuart Nice bit of nostalgia, I have a similar place called the Slade Valley near Dublin, where I competed in my first Trial back in 1979, which I remember with similar fondness whenever I drive by. The astetics of the WES product my not be to everyones taste, however it represents a valuable alternative source of spare parts, which I know may not be concours d'elegance standard. But it will enable bikes, some now approaching 45 years old to keep running and competing and not becoming "garage queens".
