Why is it that speedymoto is perpetually out of stock on virtually everything monster related?  I've even contacted them about future availability of their top triple and clip-ons only to get a response a week later with "a few weeks out".  I replied asking to please let me know when they come available and, going on 6 months now, still nothing.  Am I the only one who finds this completely unacceptable?

No, you're not alone.

It has been like that for a while and I don't know why.
Super nice people and fantastic products, so it's really sad.

thats why some dealers dropped them.

cyclecat was the same way....and then they went under.

Supply can't meet demand = loss profit.  That's too bad

About 6 months ago, I was told the reason for the delay was that production had been ramped down during the recession and they were trying to ramp things up again. I doubt they would still be catching up from that, though.

I just picked up one of the new billet case covers from them. It arrived 3 days after I ordered it. I also have several other parts on my bike from them, and have never had an issue.
Woohoohoohoo! Two personal records! For breath holding and number of sharks shot in the face.

I guess I'll be looking elsewhere for parts.  I know there are a few more options for clip-ons but Is Rizoma the only other option for a top triple clamp?

I waited months for my top triple and tallboy clipons from speedymoto.... great quality, beautiful workmanship.... but zero inventory.  I was keen to see how their rearsets would turn out, back in June they told me "around August......"  Glad I ordered Rizomas coz still their website says "coming soon".   I dont get it, they make great stuff, they're very helpful to deal with and there's a great deal of latent business out there.....  but they just dont seem to be able to meet demand.

All I want is a realistic timeframe rather than "pre-order" and "coming soon".  Even if they said 6 months, if I was confident that I'd see my parts in 6 months, I'd still order them.  But I don't have that confidence and apparently you don't either.  Thanks for your input.

Do you know of any other options for a quality top triple?

I'm ordering from Style and Performance. Nice people and good on timeframes.
