Passin on somethin I never knew -

Apparently PowerStands rips off products and creates copies to sell. Makes sense - the stand looks like a Pit Bull, the warmers look like Pappawheelies, the covers look like Moto-R, the dampener looks like GPR, etc.

And when I say "looks like", i mean "is identical to", right down to a cosmetic flaw in a Honda logo on the Moto-R cover.

I boycotted them just based purely on the fact that their products were shit.

Quoted from a KFG who tried out the PSR damper on their bike for 3 laps.

Lulz. Good find. Never bought any powerstand racing stuff, and after that thread, never will.

Not that it makes it right but this kind of stuff is done every day. Every motorcycle manufacturer has copied something from the competition.

Copying an idea or a concept or trend is very common, yet VERY different than casting and remolding another companies part and then attaching your brand name to it. I would rather support the innovators and creative minds that come up with a new, quality product (CRGfor example) than give my money to lazy thieves.
