Now they are ripping off the UE Knucklehead shock towers.

Which I quite like actually- quality and materials seems to have improved alot with the EVO 3 and 4 stuff, but they still havent knocked-off the UE setback arms... :whistle:

Wow! Flat out direct rip off. Not even trying to mask that one. That really is bad.

Now its gonna be tough to tell if they are "real" or "memorex" on ebay.

Honestly guys, from a neutral POV, if the Integy parts truly are CNC 7075 T6 Aluminum then there should be no difference in quality. Aside from weakness resulting from changes to the original design, that is.

Nobody said they will be weaker. Just that its a blatant rip off.

Again, if UE decided not to manufacture them any longer then Integy is fulfilling a need. They were bound to be ripped off sooner or later, being that they were great parts. I agree that some idiots on ebay will try to play them as the real thing. Doesn't Integy engrave their stuff though?

integy has got their own policies on what to call 7075.. they are basically made from poop, (cheap molded aluminum, not saying molded is bad, but needless to say integy is doing its best to keep it as cheap as possible; Imo integy molded quality is only meant for decorational use, or for people who don't do bad landings..

Good thing the real UE towers are cheaper.

They don't deserve to sell a single tower of these..

Well 7075 is 7075. If it isn't then it's not. Get it? If Integy isn't using 7075 then they couldn't say it was. However, they don't specify the temper which is where I believe thier parts fall short in quality.
