Since Cycle Cat is no more  Embarrassed     I may have found an alternative set of clip ons for those looking for something with as much adjustability (I love my cycle cat clip ons   wt:)

It's called ConvertiBars and they seem reasonably priced at $329.95     

Looking at their website, they have pictures of it on a monster:
 http://www.convertibars.com/ProductsBike.cfm?Action=Add&ProductID=&rebuildStruct=1&CategoryID=12&BikeYear=2006&MakeID=69&ModelID=178&btnSubmit=+Next+Step%21+

Here's the link with a video that shows how the clip ons can be adjusted: http://www.convertibars.com/HowitWorks.cfm

It may not be as elegant as cycle cats but it seems to be a good alternative.

Hope this can help some  wt:



Here are the specs for the adjustment:      ConvertiBARS kit for Ducati Monster(2002+)
                                                                     Vertical             Horizontal   
                                                                 Below   Above    Fore         Aft
*Maximum ConvertiBARS positioning capability   2      3              2          1

Measurements are in inches, relative to the stock position, and with Proper Length Lines
Position restrictions between low and high positions do exist.
Measurements calculated with default handlebar.
 
Important Installation Considerations
Simple Install. Re-routing of the wires and lines is necessary and some individual ingenuity is required, but the install is relatively simple and straight foreword. Monsters made before 2002 however, have a taper on the fork tube that makes it impossible to mount a clip-on style handlebar to.

Pompetta,

Thanks for the info, didn't realize that they've been around for a while.  I totally agree that they won't win any beauty awards but the adjustability aspect is pretty interesting.

I didn't mean to sound like a dick.  After all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and they are functional!  Smiley

+1 though... really.  Not trying to be phallic in any way but it's like when you tell you friend that his new girlfriend is a pregnant dog... you owe it to your pal no matter the consequences.
