So Cyclecat started up again. I went into the dealer today in search of the best looking triple clamp made for monsters(cyclecat). 4 or 5 years ago they went out of business, and this guy(Chris) who the parts guy called today worked his ass off to buy the company and start them back up. This happened about 12 months ago, so while the main focus of the company will be making new products for newer model Ducatis some old parts will be made. I was told that it would probably be around the first of the year before they got around to making triple clamps for older (2002+) monsters. I was told that putting a backorder on the DTC8 clamp may "light a fire under his ass" to get around to making these. I wanted to gauge interest on this thread of Cyclecat products in general, and maybe with some support Chris and the entire Cyclecat team can make it! If you would buy a product, post it! Expecially those DTC8 triple clamps...

Depends on cost for me. I need a new set of yokes but IMI Italy are offering them at £400 +risers +shipping so around the £500 mark whatever that equates to is tops for me.

chris and cyclecat are top notch. I waited when doing upgrades to my current bike but there still weren't any available parts (triples, rearsets, etc) in production when I was ready to rock and roll. I would certainly HIGHLY recommend their parts as they've been on every bike i've ever owned and look/function are beyond amazing. if they put the parts out at a competitive price, they'll sell for sure. But I imagine that finding more demand with current models is super important to keep them afloat at the moment. Hope they put out some stuff for the older monsters.

I have cycle cat clip-ons as well as rearsets. I had to make shims for the clip-ons though. They were the SBK model, but I got a great deal! I love the quality of their products. There is a very high level of engineering behind each item they produce.

I should be in the market for a triple soon, and CC is the front runner if they get production going. I do wish they would come up with some kick a** high rise clip-ons though. Looks like speedy may be my choice there.
