IMO there are no clean hands so keeping it real I would remind everyone, and educate the fairly new, that ALPHA was the very first to jump in to the Slingshot aftermarket with both feet on day one. Henry is a motor-head, his life was already complicated running the family restaurants and he had shut down his speed shop quite some time ago to put his full effort toward the family business. Not to mention getting married and having babies since the Slingshot hit the road.
He took a big risk, worked a lot of nights, and helped many along the way. Without ALPHA leading the way we would have had little in the aftermarket or information in the beginning. Everyone who came after was following and should at least show respect for his trailblazing. Unlike most others he did not wait to see if the Slingshot would succeed, he dedicated a big chunk of his life helping to make sure it would (even as Polaris seems to be trying to kill it).
So while no business is perfect, and every one will have its rough patches, you will find very few with Henry's dedication, willingness to help others, or his passion. IMO this has at least earned him a respected place at the family table so I hope everyone can see their way to give him at least that. Especially other vendors.
If I offended anyone it was not my intent ....
