Yes ..another thread from me. 
So, I've been waiting on my Rinehart black tips for like two weeks and they are sitting at the local post office since Monday, unsorted. I just cannot seem to get them. In short, the dealer today took a set off some pipes and sold me them. I'll give them mine when they come in to replace them then get a refund.
I get home excited ..easy peasy ...three allen bolts each. First one ....strip - they were so tight that the bolt gave in before the releasing of the bolt tension did. Allen was in there good and deep too - it actually made a big crack sound as if the bolt loosened ..but it did not. In short, I just ended up trashing the bolt and scratched the pipe up ...a total mess. LIke 4 hours into this too and I then find the bolt on the bottom does the same!
So to eBay I went to get new pipes with black tips this time. I will only need the left side since that's the one that got trashed. I'll sell the other one. So in this, I'll have 3 sets of black tips, a new set of pipes, one I don't need, 1 pipe that is messed up, and worse of all, hodge-podge configuration now that keeps me from riding.
What a damn(!!!) day I tell ya. Where's a damn bridge when you need one.
