So I was saving up the cash to buy some pipes, found some for a better price on eBay from Riders Discount, "Brand new in factory sealed box" so I ordered them saving $200 and free shipping! They came in today, box looks untouched, all staples and no tape. Open the box everything looks like factory packaging to me so I'm happy! Installed bracket and front pipe, looks great, grab rear pipe and realize it was wrong! I ordered a set of Samson Legend Series Rip Saws but the rear pipe is for a set of Legend series STREET SWEEPERS..ERRRR!

I will keep you posted, of course when I called both Samson and Riders Discount it was after hours.

If they don't make it right, you could grind off the turn down and convert them pretty easily.

That sucks though.

That's what I was thinking, but hope they make it right. How did you not notice the pipes were not the same once out of the box?

To be honest when I unwrapped them and laid them back in the box I thought they looked odd but then again, they were in the box not on the bike.
I had them just sitting on the bike loose when I put the rear on and noticed.

I understand, well it sucks and Hope they make it right. Sucks when you go to do a project and parts are missing or wrong.
