I have Samson pipes on my rk custom. I love them, and are plenty loud, if you like that.

Thanks you guys!!
I was wondering what people thought of them, because a couple of days ago, I stopped at our local HD shop, and asked one of the guys in there what he thought of Rhineharts and Sampsons, and he said he would have nothing to do w/ Sampsons, because a guy brought a bike in that had problems of the weld breaking loose, there was no support for the pipes. It was just the one bike that had this problem, so I don't think I should be too worried about this.
Anyone else out there who's had or has heard of this problem??
Thanks,
Pebbles
