The reason Rinehart probably put the logo so deep, to prevent peoples temptation to machine it off.

It can easily be machined off as the tips are solid. Someone on here actually reshaped a set of tips and exposed the holes on the inside so they could be seen from the rear of the bike then polished them. They were sweet looking and extremely original.

Eastern Performance Cycles ("EPC") sells these chrome "Afterburner End Caps" for Rinehart True Dual and Slip-on Mufflers exhaust systems. EPC's listing on ebay for this item says, "these Afterburner end caps have been Dyno tested and have produced a gain of 2 horsepower to the rear wheel and 2 pounds of torque. Actual results may vary."
