RIP-OFF would be the word I choose. But I agree.
I hope True-trak is granted their patent, and sues the assess off all the copycats. Dunno if Ride-Str8 is currently pursuing a patent, but if they are, I wish the same for them.
Amazes me how people come on here and bitch and moan about outsourcing (to cheaper labor) and losing their jobs because someone else will do it cheaper, but turn around and SUPPPORT the very actions they condemn.
Hell, why even own a Harley? Just go buy a Star or a Honda, they want cheap knockoffs right?

Get a grip. You throw every off subject point into every post you generate. Offshoring? Go buy a Honda now? You must be fun in person.So following your intellect people make a 30 dollar part and sell it for 400 is awesome. Someone that waits for a cheaper part is just cheap, and a company that makes a similar part and sells it cheaper is a thief.
And you know nothing of Patent Law. You don't much of anything in my experiance. You're just here to be a nuisance.
Go buy 100 True Tracks if it makes you feel better.
Retarded.

If you'll excuse me, Im gonna go take my Soos's 09 floorboard extenders that came yesterday down to my buddys machine shop, so I can start making rip-offs and selling them for half the price. Ill make sure to send him an email thanking him for doing the hard work and being the first guy to develop them for the 09 bikes. After all, what right does HE have to sell them and make a profit for his work if I can steal his design and make it cheaper?

Ahh... if you didn't know, SOOs copied someone elses idea first when he first got started way way back. This is for the 08 and below FRONT floorboard extenders. The other stuff he came up with all on his own and he deserves the respect for that.
Kury and a host of other companies were making floorboard extenders way before SOOs was..
Ever tire of being way off base on your assumptions? Do some research hoss.

Yea, those damn "turds" as you call them that put the time and money into developing a solution for the problem YEARS ago, back before anyone else cared enough to give sh*t and before everyone and their dog jumped on the bandwagon making knock-offs by STEALING the ideas of the guys who put all the REAL R&D work into it.
Yea, damn those "turds" alright.
Thats right. ABOUT friggin time. About 3-4 years late to the party. Yet you praise them and bash the INVENTORS of the solution.

Hopefully one day YOU or your children will be the one put out of job by rip-off artists.
Other than that, kiss my ***.

Follow your own advice "HOSS-es ***" See if you can actually READ before you rush off to call people names like "retard" and "turd"

He stole too. At least according to you... It's called business numb-nut. You can patent your implementation of an idea, but NOT the idea itself. This is how we stop Monopolies from forming. Little thing called free enterprise. A little thing that makes America great.
Guess you're the only honest homey here but you buy STOLEN stuff all the time...again, according to you. Everytime you buy a shirt or a taco you're buying stolen merchandise. So stop. It amazes me you keep buying this stuff!!!
Flame on ole boy. Doesn't bother me in the slightest. In fact I have more material than you and can keep going alllllll day.
I shouldn't play so rough with the retards I know. It's just fun. Can't help it.
