Title: Lafranconi Silencer
Post by: AndyL on December 02, 2006, 03:38:07 PM
I have a silencer that is 14" long, inlet ID is about 2.4" and it has two smaller exit ports at the back.  It is stamped with:

LAFRANCONI
KTM Z51-D-CH-A-1
Z55 FRANCE

Does anyone know what bikes it was used for?

Maybe a couple of pictures will help someone ID this silencer.

I don't need it but it sure would be easier to find someone who needs it if it was identified.

Hi Andy,Could this be for a early 1974 250GS? Al Buehner and I were talking yesterday about a 2 hole silencer for a 250 and this seems to me what he was talking of.I am guessing though.

The picture did help.

Thank you Tom.  I was looking at the mid to late 70's to try to match it up.

Francois:  Thank you very much for the info.

Thanks again for the assist in ID'ing the silencer.

If anyone can use it, let me know as I would let it go pretty cheap.

Ric,
I tried emailing you but keep getting an error message.

For now the silencer is sold and i am just waiting on payment.

If the current deal falls through, it is yours.

I will let you know.
