problem samson 39 inch cho los
the little heat shield that covers the pipe that is between the cylinders on my bike got all pitted i called samson to see about a replacement and they told me that that Little heat shield would cost me $49.95 wow seems like over kill on the price being that is a replacement you would think they would go easy on you.kind of disappointed that it pitted i take really good care of my ride.

A Samson dealer/owner is online/ Sponsor . Ya never know what he'll say.
I've got old Samson from era 1996. They still sounds great! & look good 2 me! I had weld break, but mine was used. No fault to Samson/ age. They may have 100k or more on them. I don't or expect help from them. Never will.
I just love the look + sound!

Nikon, the same thing happened to me last fall. Mine didnt have 100 miles total on the entire system. The chrome on the heat shield bubbled. I had to take pics and email them to Dr. Vtwin and that didnt even work. I finally had to call and talk to JR the owner on the phone. It took about a month to get things worked out. I was PISSED
because I just bought mine, when it happened.

mine are not 100 years old and only have about four thousand miles on them whats your point. i should be Happy about having to fork out $50.00 on something that should have lasted longer then four thousand miles seems to me a quality problem i may have the one in a thousand but when you have the one its the same as a thousand to you

You can check out the Thread I started, stating how pissed I was, and JR chimed in and said that I needed to call him Directly. So when I called and talked to a Lady at samson, she didnt want to transfer me to JR, because she said in the pics that I sent, didnt show anything wrong. LIKE I WAS LYING!!!!

I would think that for a small heatshield that only costs them a few bucks, that they would just replace it and be done with it, rather than risk the bad press.
