1 of my mufflers has shit itself . Dealer has taken photos and is asking S&S about it . They may come to the party .22mths old and 12 mth warranty . What is the term I have heard on this Forum for a product to last a reasonable life after warranty expired ? Thanks in advance .

guess they will consider the kms you have done since u had them fitted if done fuck all then they should replace them.

Not sure what term you are referring too, Tim, but here's a link to the ACCC where they talk about consumer guarentees and say "This means consumer guarantees may continue to apply after the time period for the warranty has expired".

Ha ha good one soapbox

Hi all...That looks to me the weld had been ground down to paper thin at clean up prep for chroming.

^^^^ +1 here

Good news here lads . Peter Stevens have ordered a new pair of mufflers in and will fit them next week . They haven,t heard from S&S distributer , so will chase them up themselves , after they get me on my way .               I have had nothing but good dealings with Peter Stevens/ Harley Heaven service department here in Adelaide .

good result Tim... It is good to see the dealer doing the morally right thing...

I still think you should have put the stock ones back on. That bike is too noisy, I can hardly hear the voices in my head.

hey bronco do you know anything about exhaust systems or do you just enjoy talking shit? every time i see your avatar thing happening i scroll down the page. it is very fukin annoying my friend

Your pretty much spot on Pauly. Not sure where it's written, but I'm pretty sure that according to Choice, the place you purchased the product from is obliged by law to replace the item, or refund your money, if it isn't of merchantable quality. It's up to them to seek reimbursement from their supplier. Although some places will try it, they cannot fob you off to the manufacturer/importer, whatever. They sold it, they warrant it...full stop.

In this case though, considering that they are out of warranty, and even though they should be replaced by S&S, Peter Stevens are still doing a good thing to keep Tim motoring while sorting the problem...

i am glad to hear the dealer in adelaide has done the right thing tim. sometimes you have to fight tooth and nail for justice. it is good when justice prevails without the tooth and nail stuff aye. i apologize to bronco for coming on too strong. your avatar thing is only slightly annoying. all is good, good result tim
