I have bought a 2 stroke fmf pipe new on eBay once before. Ive been ripped off with fake products before but never mc parts.

I need a ti system for a kx 450 2018 because I want one. I have actually not found a cheeper system than on eBay. Do yall know of a better price? Anyone had a bad experience on ebay?

Information overload.

What brand did you find on eBay?

How much was it?

Which brand do you actually prefer?

I just got my PC T-6 for my 2018 KX450 for around 560. This was over 140.00 less than the sale price of the big online retailers. No issues, genuine PC (this is the stainless, not Ti, but same principle).

Just my .02, unless you score a killer deal on the Ti, I’d go stainless. Same pipe, more durable, cheaper parts if you ding or bend something.

Run it without a muffler. They are mainly for show anyway.

My favorite part is, “ I NEED a ti system cause I WANT one.” I like your style

Yeah, there's fake stuff out there. I got this via email a couple weeks ago and forwarded it over to the guys at FMF...

Wait... Shandong. Was this a dongoffer?

Kind of off topic but, this reminded me of when my dad was looking at having something manufactured in China and they wrote in an email that they were very "fuzzy" about quality.Laughing

I saw that too. Hate seeing this stuff and it's getting more and more common. "YOU ARE BIDDING ON AN AUTHENTIC ITEM" No you are not. Its not a fox jersey. Its a replica using new fabric materials that were not used back then, made with stolen artwork and logos.

HAH! My buddy and I were just texting each other about that yesterday. I'm always hunting MC Honda stuff... and he brought that jersey to my attention. Aside from the colors on the jersey not looking genuine, the two main things that caught my eye was 1) the "XL" tag instead of an actual Fox tag, and 2) I don't think Fox offered a V Neck style jersey... cause, ya know, rocks to the adams apple is no bueno.....

What stood out to me are the colors, they look off, hard to describe.

Also the win stickers are puzzling as they show 21 wins. I dont think it is very common to show both supercross and motocross wins.

It may say XL, but they are kid XL's. There have been others floating on ebay exactly like this with pictures that were zoomed out. You could definitely tell they would not fit an adult.

Same as other question.... What about it is so fake?

Doesn't claim to be race worn or anything...?
A lot of things are just “off” about it. Logo size and placement, fonts, collar, etc.

Here are some authentic Team Honda Fox replica jerseys from 1996 on top with the eBay fakes on bottom.

Note: The replica jerseys that Fox sold didn’t have the 1-800-COLLECT logos on them. Only the actual team jerseys did.

Good to know. I'm terrible at spotting this shit and lots of fakes are pretty convincing unless you have really have an educated/sharp eye. Buying on eBay is a true crapshoot.
