Title: Here we go again...
Post by: broadway on May 10, 2013, 04:49:45 AM
    Well gentlemen, the lurker Kuoji (Bugsconnection on ebay)... same guy with the crappy 113h gears, sneaky sales tactics, and idea thief is back at it.
I hope Lee or Alan come out with some new star drags (as close to his as possible preferably) so they can shut this clown down from stealing any more members ideas and hard work once again.
I'm not advertising for this loser... I'm warning all who buy from him to think twice... and don't order squat from him!

PS- Take notice that he didn't put any star drags of the same color to match the plates, know why?
Answer: the only reason you would go out of your way to post a bunch of photos of non matching side plates to star drags is...CAUSE THEY WON'T MATCH!!!!!!

Show your face Kuoji >:(,
Dom

Shouldn't  buy aluminum stars no matter who's selling them, threads don't hold up under stress.

Hey Sal,
   What are you doing awake at 1AM? ...this is my watch ;)

Another great reason why not to buy the drags!

Dom, Sal, I looked at the photos on ebay and to my mind the points on the stars should be angled the opposite way.  How do you guys see it?  Dominick

No Dominick, that is so that you can loosen your drags quickly. ;)

If you want them pointing the opposite just flip it over.

I would prefer the points straight instead of angled, but now the "lurker" will probably change them ;)
Thanks for the explanation, Bry... I didn't know that either.

Dom, that was a joke. I don't know why it is the way it is.

Aluminum stars are foolish. 

I don't mind it when Alan (BP) beats me to something though....in fact it makes me happy that he has provided us with quality parts and he is a good guy.

Lee,
    Why don't you work on something with Alan?  You engineer it and he can get it produced.

Well, if Lee can get this one done with reasonable price in the US, I would like to see this happens.

That can be done, too, but I just have to many gear stuffs on my plate right now.

Looks like a green light for ya, Lee... start the presses ;)
Alan, I would say your plate is pretty full right now.
You guys are great!
Thanks
