And brake/clutch levers are not directly involved in safety? This is gtam, not reality.

If you look at any of the SS specific forums there are posts involving the front brake locking up over time and people crashing. I've advocating against **** Chinese replica pazzos but people will do what they think is cheap and safe.

Or maybe there are not that many cheap ppl on GTAM supporting Chinese replicas? I'd like to hope that anyway

I bought the Brazil Butt Lift he's selling. I'll report in a couple weeks on how my butt looks after using it to see if it's a fake product also.

Im willing to bet they didn't adjust the screw that sits on the master cylinder properly. That caused the system to overheat.

The one I bought two weeks ago from Rider's Choice is made in Tunisia.

Wouldn't it be better to be made in China than in Tunisia?? Cuz I think even the iPhones are made in China.

If you are really concern, perhaps bring it to a lab at UofT and get a research student to take a composition test to see if the material properties aligns with the standard Dainese impact protection.

Personally, I wouldn't buy any safety stuff like helmet and protection gears on kijiji.

The Kijiji seller is advertising authentic gear. When you buy replica pazzo levers off ebay you know they are not authentic.

Speaking from a first season rider perspective, if I was in the market for a Dainese back protector, I would have definitely jumped on this not knowing of its authenticity. However, from experience I can generally take notice in a shady seller. Some people may fall for it and this thread spreads awareness, thanks OP.

I called this guy as well.... sounded REALLY shady...asked about the different sizes he had. 1s, 11 ,12 ,13... he had NO idea what i was asking about... and said only in sizes Small Medium and Large. as far as i Know. real Dainese gear is usually made in Italy, Poland.

$90 is ridiculously cheap brand new.. especially cause these things msrp at $199+

That is not 100% true..

My TRQ boots are made in Romania, and gloves are made somewhere in Asia.

Yup, My Torques are made in Romania, both gloves in Vietnam, one jacket in Poland, one jacket in Tunisia and the suit in Ukraine and they're all Dainese.
 
If the Dianese symbol looks like this it might be fake.

 
Lol at dainese using astrosorb. Totally different companies. Dainese does not use astrosorb.
Who knows, these back protectors could do more damage than protect. This guy should get charged.

Long story short,

This guy on kijiji posted up an ad for Dainese wave back protectors for 90$..
BE WARNED THEY ARE FAKE CHINA Replicas.

just a heads up guys.

heres a link to the AD.

http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-cars-veh...TOR-MOTORCYCLE-BIKE-JACKET-W0QQAdIdZ475909841

if you look at his other ads, hes also selling stuff like china replica motogp race jackets. plastic made...

How do you know it is fake? I don't see enough info to make that statement. More info please.

There are many ways, as one was mentioned earlier, that gear can be sold cheaper than MSRP. A quick internet search shows that the protectors are available as med and large which is in the seller ad, but there are also various shoulder,waist height options as you mentioned that the seller was not aware of. Not surprising. He would hardly be the first person on the internet not knowing everything about what he is selling.

And Dainese gear is made in more places than what you mention. A quick internet search, again shows this, as well as the new Dainese gear I have.

Fake for sure. He just reposted the ad http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-ViewAd?AdId=476651550. Authentic would be made up of a aluminum honeycomb material, and its this special material that is designed to take the impact. And yes he's trying to pass them as authentic if you ask him.

I can't see where you are sure it is fake. The aluminum and honeycomb material is in the core and won't be visible. It would be an easy mistake by the poster.

Sorry to be harsh, but this post is moronic. Spend 2 seconds on google and you'll see a Dainese website and other mainstream sellers of Dainese gear noting astrosorb is in their wave protectors. If it is an error, it is all over the place and simply a copy and paste from one of them.








My take is while the ad says the protector is plastic (and no aluminum), that would be an easy mistake to make because upon doing a tiny amount of internet research, one will see that the plates on it are polypropylene (plastic). The aluminum part is in the frame, which is not visible. Beyond internet racing, by holding the actual product in your hands, the protector is obviously plastic by examining the outside structure and plates, while the aluminum frame inside of it is not so obvious.

I have no idea if the protector is fake. Maybe it is. Maybe it isn't. Some potential flags, but ones that could be original ad errors. At this time, there is little information on the ad or here in this thread to support any conclusion. What I do see classic internet piling on....



So again, I would strongly suggest more info is needed.

Its funny because in the first part of the ad he says "All Honeycomb plastic, no metal or aluminum" and then in the descrption it says "Aluminum and Astrosorb honeycomb frame." I guess he is not really sure.
 
Posted this thread up with the sole purpose of not wasting fellow member time, and get scammed by this dooooche.. didnt bother to put in EVERY single detail.. but if kwtoxman is interested in the full explanation....

buddy of mine went to take a look at these in person.

-STRAPS DO NOT say Dainese. as seen on manufactures page.
-all protectors are 5 sectored plates regardless of size.. vs 6 on manufactures page
-he offered the sizing in Small, Medium AND Large, vs the protector only comes standard in sizes Medium and Large.
-and to correct the bolded statement below by kwtoxman, the protector DOES NOT HAVE the aluminum honey comb insert that can be seen by lifting the flap on the back, WHICH IS FULLY VISIBLE... seen in the following Video, around 3:45 into the video. [video=youtube;K6OsnfAyai8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6OsnfAyai8[/video]

As i said before.. this is just to WARN people that may not know the product as detailed others.. and to avoid people getting scammed.

If you would like to buy it, go ahead.

Considering you didn't put in even a single detail in the original post, this is the information we need. It helps to show people what the issues are and what to look for when buying. As for the honeycomb insert, unless one knows how to view the "insert", it is not visible. Linking the vid which shows how to take a look at the insert really helps. Great stuff.

To clarify, my statement you bolded to puronica about the poster was meaning the poster of the original ad, or seller.
