Great to know :biggthumpup:
I alway knew that Randys ripped of Keiths idea by smiply copying it!

There are some made in India U-joints coming out also (under a different name) that closely resemble CTM's. Some people do what they must I guess. I think it would be a drag to be the little guy that went to all the trouble to develop the product. It kind of puts a damper on people developing new products in some areas. To me owning a business should be about integrity and honesty. Maybe I am wrong.

I believe patents take time and a fair amount of money. I heard second hand that Keith and Randy's had some sort of agreement, but it had expired by the time Randy's started producing them. I don't know for sure if this was the case.

Keith told me that Randy was going to copy his idea no matter what.
However,I seem to also recall Keith talking about an agreement with Randy. It sure seemed like Randy took a loooong time to release the axle kit. Huuuuuuummmmmm
