Dude, who said anything about selling this let alone selling it as a "fake" item? Just cos you might have that kind of devious mind don't judge me in the same way.

I want something similar for a rider and my other bikes, if you know where I can buy one, tell me. I don't see much difference to Kappa and their takes on old school nor Akisu and their "JMC" stuff if you can explain why me getting something similar made is bad and what those guys do is good I'd appreciate it.

Sorry, Azusa not Akisu :-)

I don't think informing the people who read this board that repros are being made is a bad thing, I'd like to know, but I do agree that the whole repro-is-bad, we're the bike police thing is tiresome. If someone wants a repro'd item, that's their call.

Do they really make fake JMC's? Come here google.

The Kappas and Azusa's you mention are distinctly different from original and marked in a way that will let someone know what they are getting. If you have something made for you and then sell your stuff down the line, what about the next guy? will he make sure when he sells that the buyer knows the stuff isn't real?

Welcome aboard, have a seat and read a bit. By the way, you seem to be missing something from your name! Is it related to your face?

Where should the repro marking be located? On the outside where everyone can see it, or on the underside or inside? Just curious...

blimey, he only said he would make one that looked similar. whats the problem with that.
does that constitute a fake item, cos if it does i think i mat have a fake cherokee jeep, its called a bmw x5.....well its similar

The topic is gone on rad?????
Can someone tell me more about it?

Yea, what was it? Another stem? Pics? info?

It was a discussion post and someone was saying that a Hutch part (maybe a stem) was too expensive and hard to find and that his friend suggested having one made or did have one made and he might do the same. No mention of mass production or selling them. No pics that I saw either.

well maybe i should have saved the topic from rad, the bit where you where gonna do a small run of them. show me where i said you would sell them as fake. was hutch headlocks

and if the thread was totally cosure then why was it deleted from rad
graeme

This is all about headlocks?

The thread was cosure but was removed due to you and your actions alone.

Im sure most members on here will be aware of some of the disscussions between RAD and vintage over reproducing whatever for this hobby and it always gets out of hand, some seem to take things too seriously so its just not worth the hassle.

This is why it was removed, i was involved in the post also so feel obliged to explain, i dont remember a run of them being mentioned at all and dont take kindly to people trying make a mountain out of a mole hill, it was a genuine question that did not deserve all this BS.

Hope there is no harm done, these are kids bikes for gods sake not the crown jewels.
