I think Sigma do one Fil, and yes it is legal because the later bikes have a 'servo' clutch which is a form of slipper.

Don,t know about the Sigma, one but the standard one is not worth fitting.

Yup Neil was developing one last year when i spoke to him at the trade expo, Im sure he will be marketing it by now.

Don't know what one to use, but it's certainly allowed under the proposed '07 rules...

1.6.32
For Class A only
The original clutch assembly may be modified or replaced with an aftermarket back torque limiting unit (slipper type).

I thought the idea was that the slipper clutch stopped the back wheel from locking when down shiffting, I found the one (standard Ducati one) fitted to the Multi did not prevent this. Last year when I fitted the rear sets to the Multi I inadvetantly converted it to a race shift patern but did not realise till I was out on track, twice in the race at Castle Combe exiting corners I knocked it down a gear instead of up and the back wheel locked solid
