I agree about copying parts (happens way too often) but you need to look again at the TriAx. It is not a copy of the Pro 5.0. It may be similar (which would be normal) but it is not a copy.Originally posted by postban
Imitation is the strongest form of flattery.:shrug:
Same as Steeda and all the others copying the PRO 5.0
Some may be junk, some may work fine. Competition keeps all of them "honest"
Some here claim UPR's 3-hook Quadrant superior to Steedas so they are capable of making something correct.

well i guess i did not expect any less from upr. just thought it would have happened by now. those guys could have atv least used a little creativity and made a unique design but i guess that would take an ounce of talent.
anyway , i am going to get to work on trying to make our a handles a bit more efficiently and hopefully match the price. but price is not how i set the products i design. i make them function right first.
there are some serious shortcomings with uprs version but i guess they will just have to find them out for themselves.:mj:
also i do not see the rubber flanges, washers, lock nuts etc. we include in our kit for the 2.05 savings they give . i wonder if they are gonna include them. they should as the flange is the key to improving noise.
i want thank all of you that have purchased our shifter handle and hope that this cheap imitation does not sway you future cobra guys but just in case i am gonna go one step further...
i am going to change the price on monday of our handle to 30.00 and just figure out a way to still make money on them. i think i can just by making them in higher volume runs . if i can't thats my problem.
also if anybody has ordered an MGW shifter handle in the past EVER then you can get a 5.00 credit towards any future MGW order.
why am i doing this??? because some of the money i had put into the price was to recoup r&d costs and i can chop that off. that may at least account for a few dollars in my costs. upr has the luxury of no shame so r&d does not cost them a dime.
oh and also ...
because UPR SUCKS!!!!!!!:xpl:
