Message	I was stubborn...loved the look, thought those who had problems did not install them correctly. JOE WARNED US TO TAKE THEM OFF!! Well, I am here to tell you....take them off! Vibration and continuous flexing will fatigue them and they WILL BREAK. Mine jammed the throttle to 5K and since I had been warned, had a hunch what had happen and just kept it a higher gear to keep the revs down, turned the key off and pulled over at a comfortable area and resolved the problem by removing the jammed broken piece. However, if it had happened at wide-open throttle and heading into a curve...well the outcome could have been far worse.
