yeah, I have one of those on my watch list, too. Plus two others. The three I like all end tonight while I'm at work. I'm hoping it is going to be a slow evening... if you know what I mean.   ;) ;D ;D

Which one are you bidding on?

Well, I won one off of Ebay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=4613277220&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT

All I need is something about an inch shorter in overall length, and I think that one should do it. Now I just need to wait for it to arrive and make sure.

                  Hey, that's one nice looking piece. Let us know how it works out. Later on, Bill ;)

KB02,

It is a nice looking, compact unit. Should you ever need to rebuild the M/C will it take standard parts, or if not, are replacement parts available?

Well, that's one thing I never thought to ask :-[ (hind sight IS[/i][/u], they say, always 20-20), but like you said, it looks pretty standard so I'm sure I won't have too much trouble. AND, if I do, I can always get another one. Hopefully I won't have to deal with rebuilding it once I get the brakes all set. (Ever the optimist...)

Well the MC has arrived. YAY  ;D

It is the perfect size for what I need. YAY  ;D

It has the brake light switch attached so I don't have to use the old presure switch (even though it still works fine). YAY  ;D

Direct replacement parts are not available. BOO  :P
   But, when all is said and done, since I only paid $36 for it on ebay, if it comes time to rebuild it, I can probably just buy another one.  ;)
