yes they are... my guess is that this is a case of half information magnified into a "fact" by the power of the internet. I'd be shocked if Bob was going anywhere right now.

Rinehart's website has been down for weeks now. Wonder if it's true or not.

Dam shame if it is true, nice pipes but a little spendy. I also think that Rineharts have one of the best exhaust notes going, always sound sweet to me.

BUB 7's rock the house. They would be crazy to shut down that product line.

I hear they are moving their manufactering operations to Shanghai China to reduce manufacturing costs so they can effectively increase their profit margins

Buddy just bought a CVO Street Glide and tried to get Rhineharts.... dealer told him they were out of business, but that it was some sort of name dispute and they would be back marketed under some other name.

Sure hope they are not moving to China. WTF is this country coming to? When will these damn greedy corps figure out that eventually there won't be anyone here to buy their products? They keep this up there is going to be a revolution. Us little guys are gonna have to show them how worthless their money is. I am all for rewarding hard work, but I am not for the rich using their power to keep the average guy down either.
