TBH i'm not that fussed and i commend them for being enterprising but selling an inferior product for more money and passing it off as your own work is a bit naughty. if they had PM'd me and said Lance i'm going to make these up and sell them on the Vstrom forum i would have said cool go for it and gave them some pointers of what needs to be done as i have no intention of selling them on any other forum but sv650.org as i dont have the time. if i did have the time and was desperate on cash then yes i would flood the market with my wares.

It would have been polite just to clear it with you first

will have been. or a friend of someone off here as i haven't sold them anywhere else.

now if they have thought of it all by themselves then well done to them and they know a fair bit about bike electrics but it looks very very much like mine to be a coincidence. another thing i find a bit strange about the thread is someone asking about headlight relay harnesses as i was asked the exact same question another is them using the term 'trigger' for the brake light switch connection.

It doesn't look like an overly complex bit of kit, the guy probably either thought of it himself because he needed one or saw one of the many examples that litter the internet and couldn't work out where to get one for a reasonable price.
