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