Give Armours a ring and ask that if you send them a set of exhaust pipes, can they make a new set exactly the same, I'm sure they can, seem very helpful.
Armours are junk, don't buy exhaust systems from them.


Amrour's say in their advertising literature "All pipes produced by us are an  
accurate reproduction of an original".

That is obviously bulls hit.
They were not very helpful at all.
I would not deal with Armours ever again, they cost me ££££s.
Getting a refund was like getting blood from a stone, and they broke the trading standards laws by refusing to refund the postage costs.
Their exhaust pipes are rubbish and I would NOT advise anyone to buy from them.

British Bikes / Triumph T140V

Has anyone here recently bought a set of exhaust pipes for a T140V (push in type with
balance pipe)?

Did they fit straight on without any hassel? All bends and angles correct? Pipe
diameter where it pushes into the head not too big?

I ask because I've stayed with my original pipes that are now rusty and got brazed
repairs.
I have purchased three sets from three different manufacturers ( L.F.Harris, Wassel,
and Armour's) and none of them fit at all. All have had to be returned for refund.
My bike is as it should be with correct engine position and exhaust mounting
brackets, and my old pipes fit on and line up no problem, as do the pipes off my
mates T140V.

The stainless system I've just tried from Armour's
Armour Motor Products (Bournemouth) Limited.
Look well made and good quality but they too are made wrong. They are too long for a
start, and the mounting 'lugs' on the down pipes don't come any where near to where
they should meet the front angle brackets. Also they are welded on at the wrong
angle.
When the exhausts are offered up too the bike with the balance pipe the left hand
pipe is touches against the frame under the gearbox.
Amrour's say in their advertising literature "All pipes produced by us are an
accurate reproductionof an original". Ha Ha.

Armours are junk, don't buy exhaust systems from them.

All I want to do is hand over some £££s and in return get a set of pipes that will
fit my bike.

There's too much shite out there that is sold to fit these T140's and I'm sick and
tired of buying stuff only to find it ain't fit for purpose.

I've had this with camshaft followers, camshaft bushes, push rods, speedo drives,
cables, clutch parts, gaskets, swing arm bushes, the list goes on and on.

Had to get that off my chest.

they also have a slight tendency to make the rider go deaf.

I've been riding LOUD bikes for over 35 years, and no ear plugs to cut out the namby pamby "helmet wind noise". I ain't a deaf.

Does the converse hold true that a rider with loud pipes is not aware of approaching traffic because he can't hear it, therefore making them dangerous?

No

For many years politicians have stated that motorcycle noise is the subject that they receive the most letters about, despite the fact that in the last noise pollution survey did not even mention motorcycles. Unfortunately, this leads to a continuing push for even lower noise limits, although not necessarily lower noise levels.

The current limits for motorcycles are based on the cc of the machine and are as follows:-


ITEM  DATE OF FIRST ISSUE MOPEDS MOTORCYCLES REFERENCE
          
1) Pre 1st April 1983 No Requirement No Requirement  
    
2)  1st April 1983 74dB(A) <80cc = 79dB(A) C&U Schedule to 81 - 125cc = 81dB(A) 7A & directive 31st March 1991 126 - 350cc = 84dB(A) 78/1015/EEC 351 - 500cc = 86dB(A) >500cc = 87dB(A)  
  
3) 3) 1st April 1991 75dB(A) <80 = 78dB(A) C&U Schedule to 81 - 175cc = 80dB(A) 7A and directive present* > 175cc = 83dB(A) 87/56/EEC  
 
Remember LOUD pipes save lives.
