a south african company selling slaves with theirs names on it. but they might a distributor too.
I doubt it's a big deal. The company is the BST distributor for the area. Motowheels is the distributor here. They likely know each other.

I did a very hard double take on that one before I realized you were talking about clutch slaves.
They could be the company that makes them for motowheels too....

So now I've determined that what motowheels need to check out is that some dude on the DMF is spreading rumors about them selling people.
Well, I find it a bit odd that MotoWheels doesn't list a 'MotoWheels' brand slave for 848/1098/1198 on their site. 6 different brands, but no house brand

I have bought some pieces from Gorilla Zilla before â€" clutch slave, rears sets and clips ons â€" quality is great.
Tthey are somehow connected to BST.
"Moto Wheels" is not an internationally-held trademark. It could simply be another brand name.
Those guys need to make some god-damned s2r rearsets... less than 200 bucks a set for the R1 models. I still don't see why ducati rearsets have to cost 500 or more.
I assume more R1s than S2rs have been sold plus the R1 has a common mount, no?

Nah, I understand all that. I'm just whining/wishing. Wish I was still in school and had the time to make my own. Never did use that damn CNC machine when I had the chance.
Including the people here..

At one point a few years ago MW carried a slave (cylinder) that looked just like that. Exhibit A from one of their forum posts:
