Dunstall Silencers - Triumph New Bonneville

Dunstall closed down in 1982 so they're certainly not made by them. I can't recall them ever making that sort of shape silencers though. They appear to be opened again as on this link: http://dunstallmotorcycles.com/ the site doesn't appear to work at all though...

Strange, they look more like Norman Hyde or Triumphs own TOGAs. I seem to remember that Dunstall Patent silencers looked more like long tapering megaphones with 7 small outlet pipes on the end, this sort of thing:

<sound clip, I think they sound alot better than NH toga's

You are quite right, sir.

I had a pair of Dunstall Decibels on my '75 Ducati GT. Much better sounding than the stock Lafranconi mufflers.

Thanks Forchetto, I agree trying to find any official Dunstall website is to no avail, the youtube clip looks & sounds intriguing, nice deep tone / barky & not to raspy. When the weather is better next year shall have to get out on a local Triumph ride out to listen/see different pipe options before making my mind up . ( Father xmas supplying funds ) HO Ho Ho.

I got 'em....take the baffles out and they shake the ground and anything within a KM radius!

I had an original set on my XS650 back in '72. Even without any jet changes - they provided a lot more power throughout the engine's range and sounded wonderful. They had a perforated disc and the bundle of tubes at the back. they were advertised as having no back pressure; that the tubes and disc tricked the sound waves into being quieter somehow.The bracket that was welded to the body cracked on mine under the Yamaha's vibes, so I replaced them w/ a Hooker 2 into 1 and was bitterly disappointed in the sound and even more the shift in performance to high RPM only. If those are actual reproductions - they work very nicely on the Bonneville. Seems like the originals had a little different end, but it's been 40 years.

You sure they aren't Contis or Conti-replicas?

I ran the identical silencers in Forchetto's post on my 1974 Benelli Tornado SS... far superior to the Franconi. I bought mine from Munroe Cycles in San Francisco Calif in 1989..NOS.
