    I removed the image after receiving a phone call from FMF asking us to do so and keep this quiet. I am fully floored with FMF at the moment and will look at different avenues for exhaust systems in the future.

    Yeah I'll never own one. Hopefully KTM and Husky find a new sponsor.

    I have a complete FMF powerbomb I got from Tinken for my TE511. Have not mounted it yet now not very enthusiastic to do so even though they did not get a dime from me. This whole thing is odd. FMF is a huge company with lots of $$ I am assuming. Kurt I'm sure sold a lot of systems for them using his name and granted they supported him big time too. They stepped up to do what seemed like the right thing then really just made big profits and skimmed a little for the Caselli family. This is all second hand info for me so it might be off base / not true but if it is, why do that? If this is all true FMF should save face and give the Caselli family ALL the profit and they can keep their costs. Its only right. If this turns out to be not true I am very sorry FMF, if it is true, and I think it is, please step up and do the right thing and save face.

    It's still a great header for the 511, I'll keep mine on there until I design my own. But I will be grinding off the manufactures tag.

    Wow, just wow... FMF can afford to do the right thing and for their sake they had better because the patrons and customers are more like brothers and you don't crap where you sleep.

    The excuse I got was that FMF eluded to holding back the money to setup the safety foundation, blah blah. How long does this take? I should of seen this coming when all the advertisements asked for "required cash donations" (bottom of advertisement).

    I was told I went straight for the jugular on this one. But I have always stood up for what I felt was right and have tried to do the right thing. Whether it was this forum board, Husqvarna or any list of companies I have challenged, including my own, I have always stood up for the riders in the community, that's just who I am.

    again if this is true how much money would fmf have pocketed as opposed to how much they will now lose in sales & bad press?! pennywise, poundfoolish. they should have paid costs anyway & given the family it all-tax write off is it not? pathetic.

    Kinda forget the original post but they've only given a small portion of their shirt sales for caselli's family but it was advertised the profit would all go to the family.
