Default CFR knock-offs?

I just scored these on Ebay. For less than 2 bills, WTF...I'll check them out. Pics look just like CFRs.

Pics of the knock-offs are in the Touring for sale section

You had real CFRs and now you're buying CFR knock-offs? I don't get it, sorry.
I sent the link to CFR. Me, I hate knock-offs and the people who make them and I don't think CFR is gonna like it either.

Boo Hoo; I did not know that you were the patent police..
Who pizzed in your corn flakes?
God forbid some one to save $400.

Oh and before you ask "how would you like it was your biz and someone did that to you"?
I probably wouldn't, but that's business..
Maybe Bry should send them back so that he might not offend someone then?

Well this went downhill fast..........

All I know is that it was a good experience for me shopping with them. Maybe they weren't knock offs, just a good price, but they were half of what everyone else was. Saved me $$$ and they are based in America! Win Win....

The point is not saving $400, the point is making perfect imitations of someone else's creation and design and there are laws against it. It's not business when there's a patent protecting the industrial property, it's illegal.
I don't blame people for buying knock-offs, I blame the people who make them.

As for Bry, I know him. He bought original CFRs in the past, like me, so I'm just surprised that he would buy CFR knock-offs now. That's all.

They may or may not have patents on their design.

A better question to ask is, "Why did Bry sell the CFR's to begin with"?

Unless these are advertised as CFRs (which would be counterfeit) it's hardly against the law to imitate another's product.
The "megaphone" styled exhaust is hardly new... Maybe the original inventors should be mad at the CFR dude?
If I can find the inventors email I'm going to send them a link to the CFR site...

I don't get it, sorry.
