Cobra Tri-Flo = RUST BUCKET

[Old Bear]

Pictures of Cobra USA Tri-Flo slip-ons with the hard bags removed. These are LESS THAN TWO YEARS OLD. This time while cleaning, I actually had small chrome curls on the rag. Yep, the chrome is actually peeling right off the muffler. And the "new" tips that Cobra replaced last year? One has two rust holes that have ruptured through the chrome, and the other tip has the chrome bubbled where it has separated from the metal.
According to Cobra USA, if you don't want this to happen, then you must clean and dry the entire muffler and ensure there are no water spots after a rain or bike wash. And with hard saddlebags, that is just so reasonable of them! The saddest part is that the 2011 Vaquero right beside it with 10+ year-old Tri-Ovals and 68k miles in the same conditions have no rust. Tell me again how Cobra USA quality hasn't gone into the toilet. THESE ARE JUNK!
