Those silencers, standard for many years, certainly on larger Matchless models, were noisy only when the rider was twisting the grip some (as one has recounted elsewhere on this Database). My lightened '57 C12 250 was fitted with a similar Matchless megaphone though a rolling road might have revealed, if anything, an adverse effect on performance. -- Last edit: 2017-02-19 20:51:26
