I actually like the black on the end of the pipes w/all the rest of the pipe being chrome to me it's a nice contrast.

I kept the black end caps on my R/K had to replace twice.

It was my understanding that if the bike is tuned correctly that the caps will change color due to heat of the exhaust. If you run hard and the bike's a/f is optimal the anodized caps will change to purple first, hopefully even on both sides if tuned correctly. My pipes are now starting to get a silver tint on the seeg. I have had a problem with the caps on my sefb as the caps are uneven telling me the front cylinder is leaner than the rear.

Please correct me if I’m wrong………Roy

I guess I will be calling RH tomorrow, one turned purple and I don,t like it.
I was considering the chrome caps, or the really cool looking ones someone had posted in here somewhere, but I have to agree with dOOd I like how the black sets it off.

Gav...I think you are talking about the Eastern Performance gooved billet end caps.  They come in both chrome and black POWDER COATED, so I think the powder wouldn't change colors.  Only my right one turned purpleish (front cylinder), and as I said, they replaced both.  The replacements were made a bit differently on the inner edge, so maybe they have done something to make them stay black.  It only takes about 15 minutes to change them out, so if they keep replacing them under warranty, who cares?

Two more here you can have if you want 'em.  These will have actually come off of a '04 Huckleberry, so the chameleon effect will be even more accurate.

What?  you don't think the purple effect goes well on the Huckleberrys?  I've had total strangers come up to me in parking lots and ask how I managed to get my exhaust to match my bike color.  Hang on to 'um 'cause you can't buy 'um that color.  thanks Brian.   spyder

Wow, no I am really on the fence for the whole V&H versus Rineharts, expecially if RH has truely redesigned their products and there are not anymore cracking headers, etc...  I don't care about the endcaps as I would install the chrome ones (OCD)...  Not sure which way to go... HELP!

[110tHunDer]

 
Another vote for Rineharts, here.  They just look right to my eye and sound right to my ear.  I suggest you don't jump the gun, though.  Take some time to see and hear the two setups on other 110 bikes to see what you like the best and then go for it!

I also have to say the RH are the best, they sound great all the way thru, give it a shot and you will know what you have, tuners love them , they can get great performance from them, if they turn purple Spyder will take them, if they turn orange I will
