Topic: 73 cb750 Tracy kit and Rickman Cr750 pics added

[750K]

Just wanted to share some pics, the indy Honda shop I get parts from had this in the shop and on display in the showroom. They recently bought it with a Rickman CR750 from a customer, the story is they built it for the guy back in the day. Has an 836 or 850cc kit, dual front discs. The paint is the OG factory tracy paint or someone local painted it back then, its pretty killer if you like wierd #$%* and I do haha.

I like it. I have a set of those shorty exhaust pipes also,made by Kooks,they are quieter than I thought which was a good thing.

Classic look.

Vintage bike porn for sure, complete with the psychedelic paint.  

I like the molded frame & swingarm – does anyone even do that anymore?

Tracy offered custom painting back in the day. Here are a few examples from their 1974 catalog:

I had a frame like that kicking around once. Somebody had gone to a lot of trouble filling and smoothing everything to create that look. It was also incredibly heavy compared to a stock frame,must have been a ton of bondo etc on that thing.

If I had money to burn I'd ahve walked out of there with the title in hand, It's a killer old survivor of it's time and real clean looking. It's spent it's life in a garage for sure, I'm swinging by there again soon to return something and I'll grab pics of the Rickman. They have a bunch of nice condition 70's Hondas, including a cherry CBX and a super clean GB500.

Allot of the old school bikes with seamless frames where filled with lead. I learned about this the hard way when I was welding fork stops on a frame I bought that had a sweet paint job. The lead just melted out and took the paint with it. I found this process on a few bikes over the years. Dam good look, but bondo is easyer.

Here's pics of the Rickman CR750 and a sweet CR750 race bike which I believe is the shop owners. Lots of great condition old bikes on the floor, I enjoy going in there. They just got in the new cb1100, pretty nice looking bike.
