You are a machining manic!  If you decide to replicate the entire CycleCat rear set, let me know and I will be your first customer! I've had alot of people ask me to do this, and I would love to do it but, I am limited to availability of the machines at work. I can only work on stuff usually on saturday.Taking on such a big task Would be very costly in machine time (which I have to pay for) and materials. It would take so much time I'm afraid I wouldn't ever get them finished. I have however thought about drawing up a set and having a few shops bid on them to see what that might cost. The only thing that keeps me from doing that is I don't have a set for an S*R to copy, and I don't know if I can legaly do it with out getting sued. I've thought about buying a machine and putting it in my garage and maybe coming up with something similar but i'd be looking at about 50-70k for a decent setup with tooling and all. On another note I have finished rebuilding my set and if anyone is interested click on the ebay link in my sig. |

I will be making a set of adjustable arms with 3 positions for the foot peg this weekend. Would anyone else be interested in a set?

Let me know.
Thanks

I don't want to speak for anyone at all, but I did get the impression that Alfred would protect any intellectual property interests he has in the full rearset design. And Oncycles is still around so it's not like the cyclecat people fell off the planet.
Just my opinion.

Then I definately won't be trying to duplicate their rearsets. I will however continue to make replacement parts until I am told I can't do that. Laz I will send you a pm |

The machined pieces look good! But if you needed to spend 50K to set up a maching to produce a rear-set, you'll end up just like CC did  . Making a pair of rearsets for my s4rt is project #1 when I finally find a mill (and get it here). |

I heard they were willing to sell the Cycle Cat design rights... I have no idea if that is true or not, but it is what I heard. |

Yeah, I know a guy who inquired about that, and Alfred mentioned they had "millions and millions" into the designs ... So he'd like to recoup that. Could be a bunch of BS, but I doubt it (considering the source) Adam |
