I really want this caliper, but cannot find it this cheap anywhere. Do anyone know of a Canadian supplier? Or perhaps someone can purchase it from harbor freight and ship it to me with a paypal transfer? It's gotta be less than $10 to ship. The best I have found was $38 in total. There's no way I'm gonna spend more on shipping than what part costs! Anyone want to help?
wow.... that just sucks.... i'd offer to buy it for ya but i'm not sure i'd be able to save you any $$ for shipping. it's an oddball size which makes shipping more expensive.

I don't see an issue with that, just put a sturdy hinge on it.
As long as it unfolds to the same length, and doesn't have any play in it (if you can lock it flat, somehow) it should work.
Note that this will probably make the center slide completely unusable and the second point or caliper end will need to be removed to the 'opposing' folding end.
I got mine about 2yrs ago, and shipping from HF was free then. But, what ever the case do get one. It takes just about 3 seconds to check your rear wheel alignment, and you don't have to get on the floor either. I center drilled both axle and S.A. shaft with 1/4" bit and cut the outside caliper tip of jaws to a 1/4" square shape. put one tip in each hole on each side and lock down jaws and see if it fits the other side. It doesn't matter what the scale reads as long as you have about 40mm of slack, and both sides are equidistant apart. Later about once a month try the fit again.
It also works to measure wide rims and actual width of rear tires. You'd be surprised how much different a 180/55/17 is between Battleax, Shinko, Dunlop, and Metzler tire with Met Z6 being smaller, Battleax being wider and Hi-Sport and Shinko 009 being dead on. Get the caliper you'll use it.

The biggest difference I am finding is on 120 front tyres some measure only 110! Sport profiles are skinnier that sport touring.
My 9'er had a low side slide.....She's down but not out......and about to rise from the ashes!
