Out for a thrash on the ES2 this morning. Noticed it was popping a bit on the overrun – called in for a coffee and saw the silencer bracket had sheared and the whole weight of the pipe & silencer was hanging off the cylinder head thread….
A few minutes thought and I realised I could use the mole grips to clamp the remains to the frame using a couple of 10p pieces as spacers. Worked well for the 20 miles home.
It’s the first problem I’ve had with the Norton other than losing the rear light first time out….
