I'm utterly confused by what this product does. http://www.sta-bul.com/product-info.html

I can almost assure you that Seafoam can do it better :-D

Funny how this went off track from the first response. Makes you wonder about how many critical things people do without a clue what's going on around them.

The rear and front hub versions versions violate a patent that I had done.

Add:

Upon further examinations it's only the rear that violates the patent.

Now that is very interesting. Especially since patent law can be quite costly on both sides. The other thing I found interesting is the instructions state that the maker is not responsible for anything that may occur from using the product.

Looks like the latest product chasing the holy grail to solve a well-known and long established short-coming in our rubber-mounts. There are other solutions available, one of which I would chose over this one. I have also written about the 'problem', several years ago and right here.

Nice general write up. I did a little more involved discussion including other stiffening devices on HTT. Unfortunately during an upgrade the all the pictures were deleted and the discussion became useless.

Totally. Even the logo's half way there.

So much so that when I looked at the site I could not work out if it was some Chinese outfit with a stock American "biker" photograph to look like a boss.

As a matter of principle, I would not use them and I'd tell them why.

May well be a perfectly adequate product, but why gatecrash someone's trademark?
