Hello Everyone!
I own a UK XS2 1973.
I know there are good quality silencer suppliers in the States, does anyone know of any in the UK? (yes I'm learning they're like hens teeth!)
Cheers Ravensmoorbob
P.S. If I do need to source overseas who would you recommend?

Welcome Bob, where in the UK are you?
Try Jerry Heiden in Holland for silencers, he stocks the same stuff as MikesXS in the states, can't comment on quality but he's a decent bloke to deal with and speaks good English.
BTW your other question - total production was around 33,000 and I'd guess at least 90% of those went to the states, I doubt there was more than 2-300 original UK imports.
Max

Hi Max,
Thanks for that. I'll take a look.
I live in Cheshire near a small town called Nantwich. Where do you live?
Regards Bob

I know of Nantwich Bob, just down the A51 from Oulton Park? (aaahhh the early '80's, Transatlantic Trophy, booze & bonfires ). I'm a couple of hours north of you, Whitehaven on the west coast. Did you check out Heiden Tuning? Max

Hi Max, Yes I went on the web site looks good.
For reference between 1984 to 1990 I lived at the village of Eaton just 1 1/2 miles from Oulton Park used to go regularly. Cheers Bob
