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.

They eventually evened out on the 02 RK, Terry. Sort of a blueish tinted black.   Considering the chrome caps as well.

Don't know why RH doesn't just powder coat them, or do them in Black Ceramic...the anodized version does not work well.  Oh well, got a new one coming, and if they'll keep replacing them, I'll let 'em.

Noticed one of mines is starting to turn purple. What procedure did you use to have it replaced, and would mines being almost 3 years old have any significance in the warranty replacement?

Guess Bub just re-anodizes them and ships 'em again.

A friend of mine painted his end caps black - spray can.  Not Rineharts - some aftermarket slip on.  His spray can black looks better than the Bub anodized black.  I am almost tempted, but not quite.......

d00d - since yours are 3 years old, I would call BUB directly and explain the problem. Figure they will make it right.  Currently they are backlogged some on end caps (go figure).

Gary...just called BUB up and got set up in their system...had to fax them a copy of the original invoice.

Black grill (the kind you cook on) paint would probably work, Mike.  But then how would you keep from painting inside the Rhinehart script?

Check these out...what do you think?

Those look great, black powdercoat would be less likely to turn.

Easiest way to keep from painting inside the script would be a light coat of vaseline in the lettering.  Use a Q-tip or toothpicks to clean it out.

My RH tips also turned purple - I had never noticed this on other RH's that I'd seen. However, a buddy says they all do it. At any rate, I reported it to RH and a replacement set arrived yesterday. It would be nice if RH would address this problem.

Terry,

Funny you should mention these, the brown truck just dropped off a set of chrome ones today.  I will post some pictures once I get them on the bike.

They also make a slash down chrome version that I think looks nice as well.  Will look forward to seeing the pics...

I saw those as well.  Wasted a day at work trying to decide which ones to get.  I kept hearing d00d in the back of my head saying, "get both, get both."  He's like a little OCD devil sitting on your shoulder.

Hey Gary hows about us 02 SERK guys.We could use a nice purple tip. I would pay for an anodized version or powdercoated if they offered it. Later,Q

Hey BigDaddy, I can't believe yours haven't turned the purple color yet.......I get compliments all the time on my 'matching' exhaust tips on the B/B SEEG.  You need to trade out w/ someone that has had them turn purple to match your bike.  har!  spyder
