The seller also has a photocopied manual and a Haynes, along with various spares. Looks like he's changed bikes rather than just changed the cct's and trying to make a fast buck. I would have thought he would be better off including the cct sheet with the copied manual but there you go.

WTF that's taking the piss :evil: (not you Al, the listing)

Surely that is breaking intellectual copyright laws. If anyone is going to make money from it then it should be me as the author. I think I will report that listing to the eBay Vero team as an infringement on my copyright.

What makes me laugh is Essential bit of kit for the garage or workshop :lol: Well if they want to take my word for it. :roll: Now I must go and double check my pictures in that guide as I don't want tell tale signs or something else that could have repercussions. Mmmm maybe I should re-thing posting anything helpful like that in the future and just post bollox. Unless ofcourse someone want to sell my bollox

I'd ask him to remove the listing Carlos, or demand a 99% fee!

I've reported it as an infringement on copyright. Always use official channels for things like this! It's a bit like when Sirch's timing instructions where posted on the IIRC the Kreiger site (Cleggs garage) but the difference here is that it is being done for profit and not given away free.

If anyone has any sense looking at the listing, they can simply look at the ebay twats photo and type out the www,vtr1000org into google and get it for free and possible become a new forum member, rather than a Member/bell end on ebay :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yep still up and I contacted eBay and spoke to someone on the phone about it too.

FYI a freephone number for contacting eBay, may be worth bookmarking for future use rather than pay 3-5p a minute or whatever the charge is. It goes through to the exact same call centre as the other numbers that charge. 0800 358 6551
