Chequed Flag Customs / Yoshimura
« on: June 23, 2012, 08:48:50 am »
What ho you fellows
Here we go with a few pics from the Yoshimura catalogue circa 1973/4 as promised.















This set up was meant for the CB500 like 754 says, but here's one on a 750
Nice front wheel don't you think? Who made that?


Some CB750 goodies

Now if anyone has one of those magnetos lying about doing nothing do please let me know



Some more CB500 goodies







Strange front wheel you got there Mr Dixon

Anyone for a set of these?  $350 to you sir

Try getting a set for that price now.

Enjoy
Eric

 Kimtab wheel.. cb 500 legs, calipers, rotors on a 750..
 The pic below with Dale Alexander shows an early Rickman disc brake wheel I believe....fork too I think
 I got a fairly good memory for the stuff back then...

 Man wood I love to get my hands on a Rickman fork like that 41mm I think.. There was a Norton RR in town here at a carlot, had that fork, and Rickman frame..+  Goodyear TRIgonic tires I think..
