Manifold


Corporate Translation:

Wow, that isn't right, we put out this high dollar bike to take over the market and something like this happens, we better make right.

Later:

****, every one of the models so far has made it out of the factory with that shoddy workmanship. If we replace all of those headers and gaskets under warranty there goes my trip to Palma this year with all of my family. Let's just say it is part of the manufacturing process, is not a mechanical issue and tell them to buff it out with a bit of scotch brite. Yea, that's it.

I just wonder which Scotch Brite pad to use, there are several colors out there.

Taking a pad to a new bike, oh dear! better just live with it, see it as a feature you won't see it when your riding it, and if they all have it, it won't be considered a problem with an individual bike.

Maybe the pad will be in the next update kit
 
Hey if you want to pay 22k for something with spot weld burns on it go ahead. I bet the ezhaust manufacturer is running around trying to figure out why they missed it. I'm sure Triumph is all over them!! And the inspector that performed the first article inspection.
 
I couldn’t tell what that piece is welded to. I don’t remember it being there on the older headers.

That's great because there is no flange between the header pipes on the on the 2300 cc motors. and at least the outer stainless showing the spot weld burn is a decorative piece. Now what its hiding behind it won't be clear until a picture gets posted of the back side of the pipes.
