If Hugh has his name trademarked then he could do something about it, because they show his business symbol as a selling point and are using his name.........the odd thing about this mob is they are stating the product won't get shipped for 7-10 days...........Are they making them or buying them
after an order/money has been taken/received and then on-selling..........
This was done buy an fleecebay seller a few years ago with MikesXS products........The guy Stated that some products may not be available immediately and a refund would be given if wasn't available at the time.......He was taking money from buyers, Then placing an order with MikesXS and on-selling the parts after they arrived, at an inflated price to the buyers. He also stated there wold be a delay before parts were shipped, Of course he had to receive them himself before reshipping. He actually reshipped in the box he received the parts from MikesXS..........If Mikes was out of that product at the time then a refund was given. He survived for a few years then when Mikes sold the business, the Fleecbay seller must have been twigged by Mikes because within a few months period his negatives went through the roof and went out of business
When i first saw this i posted a thread, Old 650 rider site, warning people of this scammer and the overwhelming response was, this guy was an entrepreneur and good on him for this was the American way.
Hugh copied his design from a previous well respected member on here, then claimed.................................. Quote] We looked around the forums, talked to some of our racing customers, and found a serious lack for a proper fork brace. So off to the shop we went, after about 7 different designs and tests , the final HHB Fork Brace was born out of steel, sweat and even a little blood [Unuote.........
The member, he stole/Coppied the design from, made them from a previous product that had been for sale but was no longer available (gone out of production), so made them for the XS650, the member also stated it wasn't his design and gave the history of the product. In Fact the Member in Question, who never had a negative word to say about anyone and encouraged healthy competition, mentioned in a post to Hugh about his false claims, especially when they had discussed the fork brace in a thread the member had been posting about the fork brace in question ............
Quote from 2009], I've been building them for over 5yrs
Hugh, you could have saved yourself all that "research and development" and just bought one of mine, I knew about the ill handling of the XS years ago
Even so I could not come up with anything original either, it's all been done

I have links to the thread in Question where this happened.......
This is not the first time Hugh has copied another successful product and claimed years of research in developing his product.........Whats good for the Goose........
Look any where on the web now and you can find Named brands getting sold with the name and they are repo's. Kinhin carbs are one example
Fact is if a product works and is a seller, them someone else s going to copy it.
