Hey Dave how's it going
Yeah I know what you mean but I think a cock head is just going to be a cock head. I don't mind fixing it, but he should have said nothing at all rather than bull sh#t to me. 
Maybe a tree might fall on him. (not dead just hurt a bit)

This type of guy will just be a waste of time and energy, he won't have some stunning revelation from an email.

Anyways, I have a non unicorn triple top I would part with to help you out if you can't find something reasonable close. I understand the shipping costs

Round top carbs w/ 38 pilots, middle needle position, airscrew 7/8ths out, 122 main jet

Don't trust me alone with a claw hammer and some pliers

Hello and thanks for the offer
Those unicorn triple clamps are expensive aren't they.
I have a non unicorn triple clamp on the way thanks and also the bracket that will hold the speedo and tacho.
Once it turns up if I have bought the wrong one I may need to contact you then.
I found it on ebay USA as not much chance of getting one in Oz at the same price

Have a good one

Hey Scott - you prolly know this, but the early gauges wont fit in the later triple.
Let me know if you want to sell them.

G'day Stevo
I have some reproduction gauges sitting here that I was going to use on the Rickman (but they don't fit)
I can use the reproduction gauges on the project bike and maybe the gauges off the project bike on the Rickman.
If my plans change I can let you know

Just be careful and use similar era of production triples, top and bottom. Later model for example, a 77k would have different offset, 50mm instead of the usual 60mm.

And like mentioned, guages won't swap
