For a few years now I've been procrastinating and waiting for the right time to buy one. I realized they weren't going to get any cheaper and when I saw Direct Cycle's price I knew it was now or never. One hurdle finally out of the way.

They've always been pretty bad. Depends how you ride too. They seem to do just fine cruising around. Lots of wheelies, banging the pipe off the ground, etc. And they start to come apart. It's a man's pipe. Rip it for a season, pull it off, weld up the cracks and brace it here and there, shaker can it, repeat. It's a thinner material than most pipes, but this also makes them a lot lighter than most. If you know how to patch up the weak points and incomplete welds before you install it you would be fine for a long time. Another issue is a lot of people wrap them, this holds in the heat and weakens the metal on top of holding in water and rusting it and makes them much more likely to fail.
