Craw,

I gave them 6 chances to get it right now I have the D&D Fat Cats they arent going to go to a hand done weld since its a production item.   People can only hope the next revision rev 3 of the rear pipe is better.   Hell if they copied the way VH mounts their pipe this would prolly be a null issue at this point.    I will take a look at the pipes again when they come out with this new mount they say they are working on, but honestly I am happy with my 2 into 1 with the falsie atm.

All,

Both sets of my Rhineharts are going back to the dealer.

MYCVO,

I think its a good pipe only criticism from me will be on the poor quality of chrome.   Works great gives good numbers consistent from bike to bike.   All I know is I never wanna ride on your right side when your jumping on it  My buddies dyna makes my ears ring every time we take it out.

BTW .... Talked to BUB today.

They have a new mount that uses the starter mount then goes to the pipe off on the side no longer using the bracket that is on the pipe to go to the starter mount.

They should be readily available in the next 3 to 4 weeks.   This should remove all the stress breaks for the Rhineharts

Here is the latest I got from Rhinehart:  (might have to read it from bottom up)

Just piling on, 15000 miles and got a crack that I had welded. Held for about two weeks. We'll see what BUB has to say. Let you know.

I had my first rear head pipe changed out yesterday. The service manager told me that they have changed around 30 in the last 6 months. Now they won't sell anymore of the Rinehart True Duals. Hopefully this one will last a little while and maybe the new mounting way that Unbalanced mentioned will fix the issue. I love the look and sound of these but will change if they can't make them more reliable.

I haven't given up, still like the performance and sound.  Will advise when I get the replacement if the new bracket is acceptable.

Hey Crawdaddy........I'm like you, I haven't given up on the Rienharts yet either.  My replacement rear pipe is still holding( knock on wood) and I hope you find your replacement pipe to be worth the wait and hassle.  Let us know what you receive and how you like it.   [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]   spyder

[Twolanerider]

But what do they expect a guy to do for six weeks or two months without exhaust?

[spydglide]

I know, I know, it SUCKS.  But, just another reason to have more than one scooter.   [smiley=brood.gif]   spyder

I can always ride the 04 Heritage, but I went ahead and put on the VH true dual.  When I bought them, I didn't expect BUB to warrant the pipes.  I'll take some pics and post.

Finally got a new rear pipe with the modified primary bracket. Had the dealer put it on, and it doesn't fit, it touches the foot peg, and with the rubber mounted motor a shak'n  it just wouldn't work. Called BuB, they said, "yeah we know", they are working on a new bracket, but it's still in R&D ..We were told to modify what we had, and they would let us know when something else is available.  Got that done by cutting off the top of the primary bracket, and then also installed the "old starter bracket". Hoping this works till they get off their ---!
This is the second bracket replacement, (20,000 miles) and the baffle on the same side has loosen three times. For a racing type business that Reinhart represents, you would think that they would put a little more into the obvious.

Never again Reinhart....Got to be a better way!
