Hey Guys,

I'm a little torn on this one but not too bad. 

On one hand it would have been nice to have been contacted and asked if they could use the photos/idea.  On the other hand, it's not like it's costing me anything.  It's not a Chinese knock-off of something I developed myself.  There are probably quite a few Vision owners out there who don't know about Vision-Riders and never would have found that mod on their own.  If they do a search on eBay for Vision stuff and come across the MOABL and put it on their bike, I think it's a good thing.  They (that company) pretty much has to buy the kit from Custom Dynamics anyway so that's a good thing also.

If I had proprietary rights and was marketing/selling that kit and saw that ad, I'd be pissed and go after them.  Since all I'm trying to do is make the Vision safer, I have a hard time wanting them to shut it down.  Besides, it would be kind of hypocritical of me after all the photos I've stolen for the posters. 

I greatly appreciate the show of support but I'm not real wound up over the ad.

I e-mailed the seller and asked him to remove the photo of my bike from his ad.  The more I read it, the more it bugged me. 

As noted here by Tarpits99, I pointed out that he advertised "w-strobe" in the title but charges extra in the fine print.  No Posi-Taps, adhesive promoter or tie-wraps mentioned.  Just "wire it directly to your brake light".  Never shows a photo of the "kit".  I asked if he uses my instructions also.

I'll let you know how he responds.  I mentioned the fact that a lot of Vision riders had contacted me about his ad and the use of my photo so we'll see if he pulls it.

New territory for me.  I've never come up with anything worth ripping off before.
