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.
