Jonathan,
My insulation has not peeled off (or lifted off) but I show a spot in line
with a weld on the pipe where it has worn through.
Mine does not have any spacers and all brackets appear unbent. I have
forwarded the info on to Shaun Siterson at Triumph US for comment. I will
let you know if I hear anything. If anyone else experiences the problem,
please let me know.
