Cycle Cat is Back!

Replacement parts to bolt to stock? Or replace CC stuff?

I'd figure/hope that replacement parts for previously purchased items will come about as part of the business resurgence.

[thought]

Agreed. And would wear incredibly well over the years for those hard-use machines like track duty bikes and the rides of guys who dont "do" washing...  Would love low weight billet fork bottoms with this matte look. The get covered in brake dust, grime, etc anyhow

yeah, and esp for all the new matte paint bikes right now... i love the non cf/shiny look right now.

[Staggerlee]

As long as we're making a wish list, I'd like an upper triple for the early bikes that has a radiused leading edge so it won't run afoul of riser clipons installed below triple at the 11 & 1 o'clock position.

Their clipons didn't interfere w original/IMA profile top triples. They did it right the first time by not making them identical to no-rise SBK clip-ons. SpeedyMoto can't figure out that sbk fork upgrades still require tall boy oriented risers, but at 53mm diameter fork size.

add me to the list for 06 S2R800 rearsets!!

i would love some rearsets for my S2R too, but something that looks a little more stock and less "transformers meets spiderwoman".. 

there simply are not enough "working" aftermarket stuff for Ducatis.  Everyone wants to make quasi-art for mods...

Right.  Only I don't want to run CC clipons; I'd prefer to continue using my 2 Bros clipons with a CC top triple that I haven't massaged on a bench grinder sander to make fit.

Or, maybe I could just put my wishes in one hand, and my poo in the other...

Use a sander.

Put aluminum on a bench grinder wheel long enough and the wheel can explode.

If circumstances are just right it can kill you.

Fyi

[NorDog]

Every time I see a grinding wheel loaded up with aluminum, or brass, or some other non ferris metal, I...

 

...then I look around and count the mouth breathers.

[Staggerlee]

Yeah, I know better than to use a bench grinder on aluminum; what I really used was my 12" disc sander.  Didn't even realize I typed grinder instead of sander.

Seriously.

I don't even own a bench grinder.

[Monsterlover]

That's good.

I'd hate for you to put your eye out

[scduc]

when ever grinding or sanding Aluminum, make sure to wear a mask. Rule of thumb, if it doesn't rust, you don't want it to get into your lungs. Aluminum has been related to Alzheimer's.

Reliving the birth of my mod history 

I got the very last of the S*R rearsets, mixed colors and a Honda brake lever.
Since then I've replaced a worn out shift lever with a MW branded one and bought 6 homemade footpegs.

I think I'll get another pair of rearsets - not because I need them, but because I can

Have you seen the Gilles Tooling rearsets? Total genius. Definitely Transformer sans Spider Woman.
