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.

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 !

Sawzalled that sucka off and went to the FatCat 2-1/TMAT/K&N oil filter/Royal Purple engine oil
and the bike runs mucho coller!

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.

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 saw a SEEG that did the exact same thing at the dealership......

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.

wow I'd buy a set if they can guarantee me the tits will turn purple 

[mrigeo]

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

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

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.
