I put the Samson Rip saws on my ex's Sportster.
Sounded great but cheaply applied chrome on the mounting bracket peeled off within days.
She took the bike with her and then sold it, so I didn't worry about the crappy chrome job.

I feel I need to chime in here since Samson does not chrome our mounting brackets. They are all powder coated.
Thank you,
JR

This was in 2003. Who ever did the chroming didn't care about QA/QC.
