Title: cycle cat rearsets? Post by: tilt on July 30, 2009, 04:07:06 PM Im curious as to why everyone thinks that they are so great versus other brands that are still out there. If someone wants to let me borrow theirs I can have my buddy fab some up.

Title: Re: cycle cat rearsets? Post by: herm on July 30, 2009, 05:06:14 PM as i recall, they were always hard to get. even when they were in production.
that made them rare........which makes some folks feel that they are worth more now. personally, i think they look great. but not great enough to pay more for them than a brand new set from a company that is still making them/ parts for them.

Post by: skxf430 on July 30, 2009, 06:59:53 PM I think they were one of the few rearsets that allowed you to adjust the peg position slightly back and lower so you can get a little more leg room. Most rearsets adjust them back and higher.

Most rearsets adjust them back and higher. and that is a great feature. but my rizomas do the same thing, cost less new, are still made, and parts are not unobtanium. Title: Re: cycle cat rearsets? Post by: fasterblkduc on July 31, 2009, 03:10:12 AM They are awesome to me because they hold up to multiple crashes. I've ground down a lot of pegs from race crashes but never damaged anything else on CC rearsets. I'm now out of spare pegs so I can't afford to crash again.
Oh, and they have an awesome range of adjustability. [beer] Title: Re: cycle cat rearsets? Post by: superjohn on July 31, 2009, 02:09:52 PM Cycle Cats had the adjustability and the finish options to match what you wanted to do with a bike, and they looked really good. I really wish I could get a set of silver with red caps for my Monster.

[thumbsup] Rub it in [evil] I still need to replace the POS original rearsets. Title: Re: cycle cat rearsets?

I really wish I could get a set of silver with red caps for my Monster. I think I have a brand new Ti colored set. Not sure if they had red caps or not. 8) Title: Re: cycle cat rearsets?

IANAL, but... Nobody's going to catch you, but copying even for yourself is illegal. For example, you can't grab a CD that I own and then rip it to your computer legally. Now, if you were going to use the original Cycle Cats as "inspiration" and make something very similar (but not the same) I don't think you'd have a problem unless they had their design patented.

Post by: fasterblkduc on August 01, 2009, 05:07:39 PM Feel free to make me some spare pegs and I won't tell anyone ;) Heck, I'll even put a sticker on the bike with your name on it.
