Original MK3 black cap silencers

markdenny · Feb 22, 2025

Could somebody please show me some images of a pair of original black cap silencers please, somebody has a pair for sale, awaiting images but I'd like to see an original pair so I can compare to make sure they are not pattern parts. Are there any identifying features ? I should look for.

Regards

Mark

I didn't realize your bike was so pristine. You should try to find correct original parts for it, when replacing anything on it . Just like your Hondas. There are plenty of hotrodded, modded ,upgraded ,whatever you call it,Norts out there ,(mine included!), but "theyareonlyoriginalonce"

here's a end of a "bean Can"
showing the correct markings and heres your bike and heres mine ( I do run a set of real MK111 muffs and I like them)

Note that Triumph T160 and Norton's black caps were not the same.
