Hi all , just joined this group here is my crazy story!. It all started with a new Honda CB750FI in 1976 , around 1978 I bought everything RC had for the 750 engine , I still have in RC packing : 836 pistons, golden rods , stainless valves ,including titanium retainers, 315 cam , clutch, heavy duty cam chain,Gerex ignition +coils. 2x Andrew cams (different grinds) , set carillo rods, Yoshimura 812cc pistons (pistons used) CR carbs ,Pair Weber DCOE 40mm carbs., brand new Lockheed Ap brakes ( brand new calipers master cylinders + 10 sets new pads) Tons of NOS Honda stuff (brand new crank cases etc , etc. Shelby Dowd mags that were in my CB750F1. Eventually I tracked down a second hand Borrani wire wheel Rickman. Never did the project as I got involved with my Bimota KB3. On immigrating to USA I brought both bikes with. I AM FINALLY STARTING THE RICKMAN PROJECT!!

Cool ..welcome aboard.
 Are you selling any of the stuff..like the AP calipers? May be interested.
 Or are they for the Rickman ?
 What part of USA are you in ?
 Several Rickmans on here..

[Rickman SA]

No sorry the lockheeds  are for the Rickman as the ones on bike were somewhat worn

Keeping my eye on this one. My project is a tribute to Rickman with lots of period parts. Good luck with yours and post lots of pics.

Subscribed.  Can you post pics of those RC parts?

[Rickman SA]

Yes I will photograph parts, if you could let me know how I go about posting pictures on this forum. Thanks

Greetings and welcome to the site and the States.

This will be interesting and the SOHC4 vultures will be lurking for any leftovers you choose not to use. I will be watching  Nothing better than a good F'ing!

Thank you for posting how to upload photos will photograph and post in a couple of days. Was a crazy project that started in South Africa all those years back. Bought some of RC parts from a drag racer Wynand Strydom who had SA agency for RC, in 1982 I visited the States and went to Russ Collins shoo in Torrance , met the man and bought the rest. Time was always a problem with me getting into the project, however I kept on buying NOS parts. I have spent so much money that I really am in the deep end , about to pull trigger on Nova close ratio transmission. I then pretty much have all. I am trying to track down a CR 750 genuine ND tachometer(the race one), I know prices are obscene. I have brand new NOS standard instruments

What are you going to do with the somewhat worn AP calipers ?

+1. There is a quicker way if you have the pics stored on your computer. 
Below the reply box, click attachments and upload them there.

I believe there is no longer a size restriction, so resizing is no longer necessary.

That's the way I do it.
Here's a pic of my Seeley, shortly after I bought it in '79. Notice the Gerex box under the rear of the seat, and the Webers. (If you left-click on the picture, it will increase in size.)

[Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er]

Yeah, and now I have to open it and enlarge it to see it 

Did someone say Gerex and Webers Scott? That took longer than I thought haha.

[scottly]

Hey Jerry, what can I say? I know quality parts when I see 'em.
