Like a few others, I was going to pull the trigger on the CFR's and buy a powervision from FuelMoto... I'm still going to buy the Powervision, but I'll wait a bit on the CFR's until I see how your case is resolved....

It sucks, but I think we are all glad you posted your experience.

I would give Cary @ CFR a call and I am certain he will take care of you. In the limited contact and dealings I have had with him over the years he has always been very straight up and he no doubt takes pride in his products.

Call Cary Faas Racing in Peoria AZ and they should take care of you. I called them last year because one of my chrome tips (only one) started to pit after 3 years. They offered to replace it for free but I declined the offer since I want black tips. They don't carry glossy black tips so I'm going to have mine stripped and then powder coated.

They're great people and they stand behind their product.
