Seeley Find
« on: June 23, 2014, 11:12:40 AM »
Found an old Seeley supposedly from 1969 were they being made then ? The rear cafe section is all metal, and has aluminum rims.

Not a Seeley but just as good, I found this Eckert Honda on EBay. Years ago, I actually met the man ("Meister Eckert"). Anyhow, check out the price:

Doesn't look like an F2 engine to me (why not leave it black?). Anyhow, cute details. I like the vented rear disc.

How is that? I thought, there were only 302 chassis ever built (according to the Seeley Register).

Does anybody know the story behind that? Why was that done?

Do you have pictures here? I always love to gaze at the old Seeley, Rickman and Dunstall Hondas.

Maybe they started with 500 because production started in '75? Who knows. Yeah, there are pics of my bike all over the forums. ;)

Does yours use a K engine or an F2 engine ?

Notice in that picture how low the bottom of the back fender is? I later cut off the bottom part, as it looked too boxy for my tastes.
