To my great surprise (because I thought they were stainless steel), my standard 03 silencer has got patches of rust appearing over it in different places noticably where the bracket is welded on and where it heads down to the exhaust pipe. The bike is garaged and didnt go out in the road salt this winter (OK I dont live in sunny California).
This takes me back to my 1991 Trophy which did the same thing with the original Motad steel/chrome silencers. There were enough complaints for Triumph to change the design to a black bolt on bracket - so how come they have gone back to it ??? There is no rust anywhere else.
Anyone else got tin worm ?? Got me thinking about black carbon fibre cans now ?!
