Here´s this Nazi guy who ensured the success of the Apollo program and the Moon landings in the late 60s. Who said Harley wasnt rocket science?

Since Von Braun died in 1977, I doubt he had anything to do with the design of this exhaust. :nixweiss:

I have the Von Braun Radio Flyers slipons.  They sound good but after a 1400 mile trip the Rivets wore thru the name plate!  Had to ship them back and they only paid for a portion of the shipping.  A buddy has the same slipons and has experienced the same issue.  Also the powder coat is extremely easy to chip. I have had to replace one tip already.  Honestly they aren't worth the money I spent on them.

So they're just like the rockets von Braun developed: only good for one trip.

Yea, you're right, but when I went to the web site what I saw was pipes that were round and solid on the end with a hole underneath about 4" from the end.  :nixweiss:

Good to know....I was considering the Radio Flyers for my new ride. Glad I went with Monster Rounds.

......and then there is the lame name. Isn't that what they called a little red wagon a few decades ago?  Doubly glad to have not ordered them.
