Could have not had a patent(up for grabs), or maybe they are reselling the product for the creator then giving the creator a cut of the sale. I don't know the story but nothing wrong with selling a good product.

I give up, who was first with the idea? From a manufacturing standpoint, Randakk's looks to be a more efficient design. If you're into CNC carved billet parts, the other guy's is prettier(and more money).

The way I see it, two choices for the same repair. Choice is a good thing and we shall find out what the market will bear! I cannot say who came first, but I have seen both designs around before. Whose is going to hold up the longest is yet to be determined!

As I see it, it is Pistol Pete that did the "rip off", if that is what this is. Randakk is just adding the Pistol Pete product to his line of stuff. The two "fixes" are similar, but not a total copy. One is machined alumnuminum, the other is stamped stainless....both accomplish the same end repair.
If the "original" fix(from 2012) was never patented, or otherwise protected, then it's fair game. And...who's to say someone else dint come up with the idea before Combustion Cycles posted his?
:headscratch:

several yrs on the cnc piece and the idea was his ...

id like to see randall response to someone ripping him off or as apple says pistol pete

this is why if a poor man invents something it is to costly not to get riped off ...get a lawyer pay the big fees and you can buy your rights maybe ...

so to me any thing i do is for all to see ... as there is nothing wrong in doing that ... and nothing right about the other to me personally ... being a inovator in many areas i should be a billionaire ... but i have objection to controled rights it all leads to nothing good in my opinion
