Keith and Joe:
Thanks, it's nice to know what they are and especially that they're
not cheap, since I didn't have to pay for them (well, the whole bike
cost me a grand before restoration). If I had to buy some I'd probably
go with the same ones, though. They do sound great, seem to flow well
and aren't rusted out from sitting for several years.

 I'll confirm, Valtek mufflers, sold by Harpers, uncheap.

Nothing like Dunstalls, which were megaphone.

John,

The mufflers look to me like the ones I had on Patience. I bought them
from Harpers, they were Valteks. Sounded great.

The mufflers on my '71 Ambo are originals, they weren't in bad enough
shape to replace when I restored it. I can't speak for the repro
mufflers out now with the larger holes, but my '69 Ambo came with what I



think are period aftermarket mufflers that are open at the back

and it is indeed much peppier and has a nicer throatier sound. Anybody
know what these are?

I had the Valteks on the Eldo I just sold Gene. Noticeable difference
(better) between the restored stock pipes on the new one in both sound
and flow. Gotta love the look of the stock torpedos though.
