I had the same experience at first. I argued with loco and a few others because they were saying the shearers didnt fit well and were low quality etc.mine were perfect when i bolted em on, Then a few months later the rivets started falling out of the silencers. Next the chrome started peeling off in a few spots and top it off with cracks starting by the mounting tabs on the head pipes on both sides. Hope your fortune is better than mine.
