Early Fastback Pipes

ilikevelos · Monday at 6:23 AM

Does anyone know a source in the US for original 20M3 pipes using the dominator silencers? Also, if I need to go to the UK, what pipes have people used and are they happy with them?

I am recommissioning an early fastback and would like to convert it back from peashooters.

Best to all.

The originals were made with a bend that came out of the port tucked in, you will have a hard time finding reproductions that are made that way.

Did both left and right pipes come out at that angle? Or was it just the kickstart side to get adequate clearance?

Early Roadsters had a similar angled outlet from the head, and replacements are nothing like.
Apologies for the thread drift, but it's really noticeable here:

Hi Possm,
Did you need to supply them with a template or did they already know how to bend them?
Thanks,
Ed

These are exactly what I want. I have owned the early fastback for 25yrs, it has been down due to a badly leaking tank for 10 or 15. Bought a tank from RGM that will work although the front is a little different from the original in the height of the mounting studs and the petcock locations are about two inches forward of the original. Putting bike on road again this summer and wanted to return it to nearer original fastback configuration with domi style silencers and tucked in pipes. My frame is a 70 or so since original frame was discarded in the way they did it back in the day and the kickstart is a new one but pegs etc are correct 20m3. Will return paint to original candy apple, silver. If I can't find the right pipes I will continue to run the peashooters that have been on it for 20plus years. Not a great time to import from abroad anyway.

Importing is no problem unless the exporters cop an attitude, although cost can be higher.

I was going to ask if anyone had any experience with these pipes. I am inclined to order a pair since I need to make an andover norton order anyway.

I bought a set but it was probably 10 years ago so supplier to AN might have changed .I was very happy with them and they are still fitted . Also if changing to early model exhaust you will need the correct mounting hardware then you shouldn't have any clearance issues .

You might try contacting him anyway! Obviously respecting his new status.

He is selling off some remaining stock, thought I don't know if that includes what you want.

Equally, he might tell you who made them for him.
