If you carved a piece of extra firm foam rubber to fit under the cover those wrinkles would probably go away, the seat would be flatter, too. Hmmmm?

Price?

Man, the three day argument I had about whether "polyurethane leather" was actually real leather. They got really pissed at the one star review, but I very specifically asked before buying and shipping. Vinylester and polurethane cows?

Holy crap that’s like $75/80 usd and I just sold the same brand different design for $50!
I’m not always the cheapest but already the best
But this case I’m way cheaper
Need to look n see if I can do AliExpress and somehow get small things shipped cheaper
I lack little package little shipping costs advantage that’s all
Most of the prices there are pretty big looking from my side of things

haahaahaahaa.

Needed a good laugh. Real leather does not hold up very well without lots of saddle soap/oil. I prefer the REAL GENUINE Chinese leather because it is easier to take care of and nobody wants to steal it. I always throw a cheap cover over something nice, anyway, to limit fading, drying out, wear, and views by thieves.

Send me a bill, I'll PayPal, ship from Utah?

How is the new brake coming? Looking forward to that package, too.

Oh, the heck with it. I just sent payment for a seat cover, the clean looking smooth one you first posted pictures. Added a little to cover shipping from Utah. Let me know if I got the price wrong and we can fix it.

Please use USPS Priority Mail because UPS, Fed EX, and others are a pain to get to deliver when nobody is home to sign their lives away and the customer pick ups are 45 and 54 miles from home, each way, on not fun roads loaded with yackers and texters and drunks and dopeheads and watching television and porn movies on their smart phones. I have a cute friend at USPS and she wants too ... .

Never mind.

Put me on your list for an aluminum rim wheel complete, best brake kit you end up with, and tapered roller steering head bearings. I can do the entire front end at once, which still needs the forks straightened from the wreck. You are easier to deal with than the locals and everything you've sent so far has been excellent quality and fairly priced. I see no reason to expect that to change. No rush, do your usual thoughtful engineering and price shopping as that is what counts the most towards good value.

sqwert · 09-27-2018, 05:20 PM

Anywho, you've cash for your trip. If you get my stuff on time, cool. Not much time left, so if I have to wait until after your trip, that's groovy, too.

NzBrakelathes · 09-28-2018, 09:38 PM

I will be in the USA in about 26 hours - I have some oil filters and 2 Big Bore kits spare to sell, loads of parts are presold already and I will be meeting 1 member in LA!
I will try post my US phone number once I have 1 and we can send anything in hand while I am in the USA.

NzBrakelathes · 09-30-2018, 11:04 AM

All prices are USD$ and exclude shipping, I can combine and try my best to reduce the size and weights of combined orders to improve the overall shipping costs via DHL UPS Fed ex etc.

Seat covers with some padding are $50 a pair - they are formed and somewhat bulky to send.

Question about "set of 3 straps" for $35. The photo seems to show each pannier and top case require 4 straps and the handle, 5 pieces for each box. Maybe "set of 3 straps" is Kiwi for "3 sets of 5 straps"? The straps certainly look functional and very easy to secure external items, but what exactly comes for $35? If it is "3 sets of 5 straps" that is a nice deal and I'll take a set.

calvarez · 10-18-2018, 01:22 PM

What I got from Tako is three complete setups with everything you need for all three cases. I'm not sure how it's worded elsewhere, but each of the three is a complete kit for one bag. I can't even make sense of how else they would count it. There are four straps that clip to the center section, so there's no way "set of three" could work for a single bag.

The quality is quite good as far as materials and stitching. I haven't figure out WHY there are clips though, and what good they would do. Why would you ever leave the straps on and remove the center??

EDIT: Also good to note that there are attached elastic bands that let you tuck in the excess, so you can just leave them on while riding and not have something flapping around. However my experience with elastic in the sun is very poor, and have no idea how long that will last.
