Title: Help B44 victor enduro silencer & Exhuast
Post by: Carsonbcfc on 03 October, 2020, 16:11:01: Hi all.

I’ve a b44 victor enduro 1967. It came with a silencer with the heat guard. The bracket that held it to the frame had 2 bolts which as you can see the frame has only one lug.

I ordered a peanut silencer from armours but as you can see from the pictures It fouls on the inside Of the Mudguard and sticks out at a weird angle.

Can anybody advise part numbers or suppliers of silencer and exhaust pipe that would workS

Cheers Paul

This probably isn't a lot of help to you, but on my Victor Special I fitted a new peanut silencer ordered from Armours & had to gently tweek the mounting bracket in the vice so it lay flat on the frame mount. I've got non standard alloy mudguards fitted, so clearance wasn't a problem for me - & thats with the exhaust pipe tight against the inside of the frame....It doesn't look too weird as its gotta clear the rear shock.

I had a silencer for my b40 from them. Was way out on dimensions and did email them to tell them but got no answer.
I have previously had silencers and pipes from Wassell in Burntwood but also had problems with fit.
I went to the factory and they said they would tweak things which they did but when I saw the jigs things were made on you can understand why nothing fitted!
