Sato Engineering knock off??

[aj91799]

Hey guys, bought a “Speed Magic SE performance products” finger throttle off of eBay about a month ago. I just got around to really looking at it and I’m thinking it’s a knockoff and I paid $90 for it! The body and the finger part are 2 different colors for the start, and there is no bearing on it. Here is the eBay link I bought from:

Sato Engineering SE Finger Throttle Type 6 Long Black SXR SuperJet SE-002609 | eBay

Sato Engineering SE Speed Magic Adjustable Finger Throttle Type 6 Long Black SXR SuperJet 10mm.

What did y’all think?

New design maybe?

you mean ball bearing?
have a nos sato and it doesn't have a bearing either,just a stainless pivot .

Yeah I’m not too excited about it after $90

Unless that is a new design, gonna say knockoff. But found the same ones on EBAY in UK also.....

Are you the one that just posted one for sale on FB?

 

[restosud]

nope.
mine is in the sato blister packaging and been sitting for about 8 or 9 years. it has no bearing and is smooth also.

No bearings or bushings in the old style.

Not a knockoff, SE Type 6. I have in black or silver.



If you want a bearing throttle I have TBM in clear (black on backorder).
