Default Need Help on Rinehart S/Os Please...

Thinking about purchasing used Rinehart Slip-ons from the classified ad below for $300. Guy said tips turned blue on the pipes and he called Rinehart and they sent him some new ones. Any questions I should ask or should I buy them. Said they had approx 2k on them.

Ad Reads as follows: Rinehart Slip - On Mufflers. High luster chrome finish with Rinehart insignia engraved over black anodized aluminum end caps. Fits 1995-2007 Harley FL touring models. Easy installation. Works with stock headers and heat shields. Mounting hardware included. BUB Part Number is R5-1027BB and Drag Specialties Part Number is 1801-0100. Purchased new in 11/2006. Like New Condition.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Peace,

How much are you saving from the cheapest dealer you can find?

Also, for me to dole out $300 bucks, they betterlook factory new with absolutely no scratches, much less no dents, no road grime, and no blueing.

What I'm getting at is don't be shy to ask questions of what YOU expect them to look like.

The anodizing on the end caps starts out black when new, and turns a dark purple-blue with time. Heat, UV rays, whatever does it. They all do it. If it is an issue, don't buy 'em. There are better sounding slip-on mufflers out there than those IMHO for the money.

Good luck and happy hunting!

I paid $525 for new ones so you are saving some money. I really like mine. The sound and quality exceeds my expectations. Good luck.....CJ

I payed in the $500 area, and I've had the tips repaced under warranty, and the new tips are not turning color so they have taken care of that.

For what it's worth, I just bought a set from Eastern Performance ( a forum sponsor ) for $399.95 including shipping.
