Default Bud's Rinehart tips

Just noticed the tips on my Bub Rineharts have turned to a slight purple color - called and they are being replaced under warrenty by Bubs... anyone else have this problem?

my tips turned. my rear header pipe cracked, my riding buddy's rear pipe cracked......I switched to Vance and Hines. For the price of the Bubs, their quality could be better. I have not always thought this way but their quality seems to speak for itself.

I agree, Bubs are $$$ - I still like the look,,, called about the tips, new ones were sent out that day along with a new rear header - mine had not broken yet but customer service told me about the problem and sent one to replace mine before it cracked - of course it may never crack - I will stay with bubs, Their customer service has been great - had VH on my last bike and liked them also,,, time for a change... this is what makes the world go around...

the way i see it every one has problems with their products at some point or another, but if theyre sending replacements with no questions asked it says a lot about their product, and their service. ill hang with the rineharts!!

I agree with Mike and yes they are worth the money. Everyone keeps talking about how expensive Rineharts are and then go out and buy V&H. When I was shopping around I checked on both. I was either going with the Rinharts that already came with the really nice mufflers or the V&H true duals with the oval mufflers. The V&H were almost $100.00 more.

I haven't had any problems with my Rineharts yet but I have had several friends with broken V&H mufflers and they are not nearly as easy to deal with on replacements.



Go Rineharts
