Bit of a long story so get some coffee and a seat. I rode to maryland from jersey to match these up with a set of barient 28S's. I was given a pair of self tailers from a friend but one was seized after taking it apart, turns out it was gonna need three new bearings. Had a hard time locating and no word back from company in Oz so ran down to maryland to take a look had another appt down that way so was worthwhile trip.. I don't wanna sound like a car salesman here but when i seen em i was shocked how nice. Guts didn't match up so i had to walk on em. four days later i figured i could use the bearings from them so bought both and now waiting for replacement bearings from florida. price is $250.. includes shipping, or just maybe depending on where i can deliver from jersey,.. that's what i'm in em for and will come reassembled.. after tearing these things up, i'm an expert on puttin em back together.. was kinda fun lookin at exploded view and solvin that puzzle. (locksmith for 45 yrs) they're not self tailers but what quality... there's a company out there now sellin conversions and seems like good stuff you can google on that or live with out the tailer... thanx for lookin
