OHLINS HAHAHHAHA what an ass

[FAROH]

So im searching for ebay for shit to pass the time and this jack ass is trying to pass of STOCK gsxr 1000 -03/04 forks as $1500 OHLINS .I've seen enough pics of ohlins forks and more pics of GSXR 100 forks than i care to think about to know these aint even in the same planet let alone the same catagory as far as what it is .

NOW if they have superbike internals ,or R&T internals thats different,theyd be worth more but not that much ,he doesnt say that ,but he is passing them off as OHLINS forks .

OHLINS 100% never made forks like these ,Cast bottoms,copper anodizing and black coated lower tubes>NOT -NEVER

I call him a jack ass because i just couldn't let it go ,its dumb to email him ,but i just had to it was buggin me .lol

I said if those are OHLINS im PAris hilton .

(yeah smart ass mind my own buis blah blah ,im sure the sucker who buys em is gonna be pissed when some one who knows a half of nothing is gonn laugh his ass of when he tells him he paid $1500 for two ohlins stickers)

this is what he replied

You obviously have no clue what you are talking about, please go waste someone else's time...

hahahahaha what a boob !

here is the auction ,,waste some of your precious time and email this guy to get it through his thick head

absolutely brand new condition. These are the bad boys.
$1500 is a steal. We will consider selling them for less if you are campaigning a National or regional full race season and you will list us as a primary sponsor.Mark is a National Champion year in and year out. If they are good enough for him- they are "no compromise" and will likely give you the confidence you need to pick your game up..

come on man !

oh yeah sorry for the MOTORCYCVLE related post i didnt mean to distract anyone from finding out whats the best soap for washing your feet :D

You can buy these ohlins shocks new from anybody that carries ohlins for 3500 cdn retail, Love how hes says they go for 4500 us

[OvErKiLL]

instead of e-mailing him... why not e-mail ebay and tell them that he is lying and that his bid is not correct... that why you can insure that no one in the bike community will buy that bogus ohlins from him...
... boarderline obviously knows his stuff and can easily prove that he is bogus and getting his ebay account suspended will definately stop it from bugging you...

[FAROH]

its not buggin me that much,,lol

but someone is gonna be pissed if they hit BUY IT NOW .
i dont even have to know fuck all to know hes lying ,im sure most people who know anythng about those forks know hes out and out making it up.HIs contender race buddy pulled a fast one over on a newbie or he just doesnt care

[Jayson]

or his racer is a novice who didnt know he had purchased oem forks

sigh..what a tool!

[FAROH]

im a total geek! ,i emailed ebay ,couldnt help myself some poor bastard is gonna get screwed over

another excerpt

If you could buy them from Ohlins, they would charge you over $4500. They would put you on an exclusive contract and you would have to give the internals back at the end of the contract. I got them just because I got lucky, you can have them because you have the financial resources and the price is right.$1500 seems like a lot to spend on a set of forks. I suppose to some people- it is. But if you consider a set of stocker forks is $500-700 on ebay in "questionable" condition often from an unreliable sourcehahahaha i love that part !!!
- and THEN you add in just a basic suspension upgrade for $500-700 PLUS the time you are down... Honestly, it is a STEAL no matter how you slice it. And your safety has a certain value, doesn't it? And when it really comes down to the brass tacks- to have the feel and confidence that a truly amazing component system gives you is what suspension is all about. The confidence to smoke everyone on the brakes and in the corners...while making it look easy comes at a price to those of us who lack copious amounts of natural ability. These forks provide that level of confidence.

I would have done the same, let me know if they need more people to 'back up' your statement.

[OvErKiLL]

good job on e-mailing ebay... way to stick up for the riding community... never know man... there might be some newbie with lots of money to spend and sees the "good" deal and buy it... i dun think that your a geek because you want people to know that truth, just think that your a person that doesn't wanna see a fellow rider get screwed over...

ebay wont do shit...they never do shit for anyone...they really dont care...the only way you can get heat on these sellers selling "knockoffs" is if that particular brand has some sort of relationship with ebay..where they have people who surf ebay and stuff looking for fakes...
unfortunately...there is only a small list of brands/companies that have people who do this...im pretty positive Ohlins is not one of them...

AHHHHH...another day another scam.

thats why i figured why bother ,but just incase ,hopefully enough people read this post and email the guy and bug him into taking the auction off or at least re-wording it ,cuz if it was me i might be a hard head at first but id do a bit of reserch for some piece of mind and take the auction down just to protect my ass .BUt your right ebay makes its money off SELLERS and they dont investagate all the STOLEN ,or counterfit merchandice so why bother with one little add .Personally i think ebay is a JOKE when it comes to crackin down on fuckheads.If they did theyd be half or less as rich as they are now.

[REVELATIONS]

Thats too bad.

I am a bit of a hypocrite myself as I bought a cheap chinese made knock-off 'creative' MP3 player off eBay, but the key term was CHEAP and that I KNEW it was a knock off......so no harm done really.

This guy is selling stock forks for TEN TIMES the normal asking price. :firemad

[FAROH]

even if they have superbike internals its still not a $1500 fork ,youll be buying internals set for whatever weight and those forks look abused .Either way its a shitt ass deal


here is his reply to my email

***quote ***I don't think you know Ohlins forks, because if you did you would know Mike
Fitzgerald, and you would know what 25mm Ohlins internals are, and you would
know that I sell Ohlins forks (R/T, Factory and internal forks) at about 3
per month. So I know what I'm doing, and I know what I'm talking about.
You can't race anything BESIDES these in Superstock class man. Of course
these are the tubes and mounts from Suzuki. But you do realize that some
ohlins forks are just internal, correct? I feel like I'm talking to a track
day guy who doesn't know anything about forks- and yet you claim to have seen
"real" WSB superbike forks (which don't exist, Ohlins replaces the internals
for every single race for every single rider and unless your name is Colin
Edwards you would never have the opportunity to own a set) and that seems
very strange to me. **end quote **


actually OPPracing ,and VAn yamaha sells OHLINS superbike forks and has them on test bikes in EUROPE ,those are $13,000 forks ,At least the guy could re-word it and say "these are Stock gsxr 1000 cases with OHLINS superbike internals ." but over and over it says ."these are NEW ohlins forks "

k im done ,
