CB750 cam chain tensioner Aftermarket ID Messnermoto!!
« on: September 13, 2024, 04:26:32 AM »
Good day! I remember some years back there was some very complex aftermarket tensioners that came out. Can anyone ID this one? I recently bought a Rickman CB750 that has been a road racer both in UK and then imported to Norway in the early 2000s. The motor is partially disassembled so sorting parts to make it whole again. It’s 900+cc , ..67mm bore with CR33 carbs and custom cam by a Norwegian cam grinder KM cams

That's the one! I couldnt remember the name....Is he still making them or what was the long term concensus? I'm not sure how many miles this one has on it, but it looks ok at first glance. I'll send him a msg on Instagram, doesnt look like he has been active on here for a while.

Any others currently using this?

67mm is 890cc or 888.4cc when calculated with 63mm stock rods.
I have a setup.

67.5mm bores have been said to be 915cc for years which is wrong. 901.77cc

I woke up when I saw Dynomans 915cc kit with 68mm pistons, 915.18cc Good to know when ordering parts as rings and gaskets.

He made good stuff.
I bought oil pump rotors from him. Should have ordered one set more. ;D

Thanks guys! Yes, you are correct PeWe, the Maskinkort from our road racing license had it at 903cc, but obviously incorrect. You likely recognize this catalog from back in the day..;)

Yes, I heard about that shop.
I had  and still have a shop in my town, MotoSpeed that sold RC and Action Fours parts plus offered same kind of engine work as RC did.
Closer to mid 80's Vance & Hines parts.
My K6 got its RC 836, ported head, cam, lightened alternator there 1983-84.

Same shop and mechanic has done more head work and bore jobs for me the last 10 years ;D

He has this website with lots of beautiful moto-bling. I didn’t see the tensioner listed but maybe if you contact him?
