Rinehart turned to Gold!
« on: May 06, 2007, 07:07:13 PM »
Anyone else had this problem?  The black anodized tip on the right side Rinehart slipon got lighter and lighter on a recent long trip until it ultimately turned even lighter than the photo.  I had about 1K miles on it before the trip with no issues.  About 500 miles into the trip I noticed it beginning to turn a rusty color.  It finally settled in a bright gold color.
I contacted Bub customer service and apparently this is not an uncommon problem because they are replacing both slipons with ones that have a new Teflon finish on the tips.

I know on the Rinehart TD's the tips will turn purple after awhile, but that's the first time I've ever seen one turn gold. They would go good w/someone that had a '03 SERK as long as both turned that color. ;D

SoKoolJ,

I have the same issue on the tips except that I have true duals and it was the rear cylinder pipe that did this.   Bub has already sent me replacement tips, I just have to install them this week.   I richened up the bike since this started and I think I will be fine now with the new tips.  ok so I am hoping !

Actually those members that have the SEEG in B/B they coordinate nicely with their bikes when they turn that color.

Guess I'm not the only one! :-\ the left one has turned to a reddish-gold. Looks bad on the 01 blue SERG. Spoke with Rineahart and they said they would report it to the warranty department. But no replacement yet.  :nixweiss:

Had the same thing happen on my 02 RK.  Left cap turned purple.  Never seen a gold one, might be cool looking.  Waiting on a replacement cap for the SEULTRA now, same problem.

I like the gold one better  ::) .


Sorry you'll have a bit of work to do to correct the deficiency though.  Good luck on the next set staying correct.

Good news! I got my replacement today. Bad news. When I placed it next to the right side, it looks like its turning reddish color too. Oh well, at least I now how that all important account with Bub. ::)

And I agree, good luck turning them purple ;)

The right side on my scoot turned purple as well...RH is replacing, but it'll happen again.  I really like the black tips, but am tempted to go chrome.

Eastern Performance sells some nice Black Powder Coated Grooved Billet caps for the RH...also come in chrome, and a downslash version.
