I had a 441 Victor Special, with a compression release valve
from a 2 stroke installed in the left side of the cylinder head. The valve is
controlled by a small lever on the bars, and does not mechanically interfere
with any head parts or the piston. (used this instead of the valve lifter for
starting).
?
So, with the freedom to use it at any time while the engine
was running or not, you could (and I did) open this at speed, cracking the
throttle wide open and enjoying the 4 feet of flame and racket coming from the
left side. The blue-hairs at stoplights noticed it too.? ;^)

My chum used to be a bit of a back fire king, using the cut out
switch
on his Triumph 6T. That was, until one backfire launched his
baffles down
the high street like a mortar bomb....
