1961greeves Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 Hi, I have a Model159 Sherpa. I would like to fit a Sammy Miller (Feked.com) middle silencer. Does anyone know where I could buy a front pipe to suit that silencer? My own front pipe is in poor condition. I saw a Model 92 front pipe on Inmotion's website and emailed them to see if it could be used. i got a message back to say it would not fit.

woody Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 When the M159 came out the 350 Sherpa used a bigger bore pipe so earlier model pipes won't fit. You can't buy just a front pipe for the M159 pnwards as the pipe and middle box were a complete unit. You'll need to source another and then cut the silencer off to use the Fecked one. Never tried one so don't know what's involved. The pipe will need to be from the same model, as from 1978 and the model 199, the shape and length of the front pipe changed and may not fit a 159. The manifold was also a different fitting on the later bikes, being bolt on, not slip on with springs. The M182 and M191 are the same bike as a 159 so a pipe off those will fit. But why the Fecked pipe? If the original silencer has lost its silencing, better to repack that, I can't see any advantage to using the aftermarket one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1961greeves Posted January 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 Hi Woody, Thanks for the reply. My original exhaust is in very poor condition and looking on line, the Feked pipe looks like the only readily available silencer. I will keep looking for a decent used one. Thanks again.

feetupfun Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 If you can't find a decent second hand pipe and still want to use the Feked silencer, a new front pipe for your bike would be a fairly easy thing for a tradesman to make, especially if there is your old one to copy the shape from. As a for-instance, I've seen front pipes for Bultacos and Italjets made from pre-curved architectural tubing (thin wall stainless steel handrail material) that look excellent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you want to spend your money with him go right ahead, it’s a relatively free world last time I checked . ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
