I have never seen one before. It is from japan though. After this sells I would not be surprised to see more on ebay.

This one's supposedly NOS and made in Italy in the late 70's.

Are you thinking he's got a crate of them?

Very nice, I notice it has eccentrics for axle adjustments- that thing is pretty killer!

I (not having a clue) would think $300-$400 max. I'm pretty cheap when buying parts. Pretty nice piece of merchandise though!

Doing real well Rick, hope to be putting weight on leg soon. Bike coming along ok, Chris has a spare triple tree for me. How are your 650's doing? Hmmmmmmmm....?? :woohoo:

PS, those eccentrics are sweet plus you can set theaxle on top or bottom effectivly raising or lowering the rear of the bike 1 1/2-2 inches! And what is the little ball stub on the left front for?
