I've had mine long TB's on my SM for a couple of weeks now and they are well-made. However, they arrived with minor shipping damage that I'm working with Richard at TB to resolve; I'm hoping for some minor compensation. The problem is the inept packaging they do

. . . they claim it's very difficult to get packaging material down there. Right, you're selling $700 pipes and you can't ship them properly? B.S. If my pipes had been properly packaged, they would have arrived perfect. Shoot some pics and send them off to TB and followup with them on a weekly basis until your concerns are resolved. Mention also that you know at least 2 other owners who have had similar issues. If they have enough of us doing this, maybe they'll get a clue about how to ship stuff correctly.
Otherwise, I'm absolutely thrilled with the pipes!
