Mine was a 38 Speedtwin. Here is a Tiger 100 and Armours make the silencers. Ron

Tim, Ah so you've gone public with this now then have you!? I had the pleasure of spending a few hours with Rex about twenty years ago when the VOC visited his place, he was living in a converted railway station south of Belfast and his main interest was making wine from anything he could pick locally. The old engine shed at the station was stacked with plastic 25ltr. drums of the stuff and we made a good effort to reduce his stock. My Vin has never gone as fast as it did on the way back to the digs. Rex was a great host with loads of tales to tell, he must have kissed the Blarney stone many times, but unfortunately he had given up with bikes and engineering so there was nothing of interest in his workshop. He had known many of the old time racers, Freddie Dixon, Stanley Woods, and of course all the Norton factory guys with his involvement with the Featherbed. When asked about any of these famous types he would say "Ah yes he was a gentleman, a lovely fella" and then go into a character assasination and tales of how they had fallen out. We were having a dinner in the evening with Rex as guest of honour, and to everyone's surprise he arrived with a friend, no less than Stanly Woods himself. Stanley was a very different type to Rex, unassuming and modest, he really was a gentleman and a lovely fella. A day to remember.

Just looking at the bike again. They look like Tiger 100 silencers? Ron
