Looks like the headlight is from this company: http://enduro-tech.eu/index.php?lang=en Seems that the website is in development at the moment.
Amazing they do this so out-in-the-open. I guess they probably have little chance of getting caught. Fuckerz.
Same story different day. I thought we had this convo about about the GL copies about 6 months ago? I know we had the same convo a few weeks ago with some composite tanks from South Africa. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks years of R&D should not be so easily exploited by a copy cat. That being said, There are copycat companies all over the world. I don't really have a problem with that when they are selling locally, especially if they are isolated because of economic, governmental or tariff issues. But when these copycats are able to send this product to the same market as the original at a cheaper price.. I have a big problem with that.
If GL consider 21brothers are taking their designs then the first thing GL can do is approach home.pl the hosting company used by 21brothers.eu and let them know that their servers are being used for criminal purposes. My guess is home.pl will close the 21brothers account. Poland is in the European Union and that means that certain rules and regulations apply. Help can be found here: http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/customs/customs_controls/counterfeit_piracy/right_holders/index_en.htm I've had to take action to protect my copyrighted material several times in the past. It's a PITA and it isn't cheap, but doing nothing is ultimately more expensive and potentially ruinous.
Really liking this bike, Miss my 950 ADV though but so far no regrets, have the RR handle bar risers on it so far.
Near the Black Hills of South Dakota............. A little break in the weather on Saturday, 120 mile loop. For the record, 40 mpg. What a Hoot! 2013 and 2014 690's.
