Sorry I couldn't reply any sooner, I spent the day moving around 5000 pounds of steel. They say the internet is for porn.
 Photo id left to right,  bottom to top. First at left is a ceriani 35mm fork. I was not not able to id them on the web during periodic research for the last year. When I was packing up my reference magazines I came across this cover:
They are cerianis with 89mm caliper centers which only fit ap lockheed calipers and are left and right handed. I just sold them, so feel free to guess their value so I can throw myself off the nearest bridge.
Next are 38mm marzocchis with brembo goldline calipers. They will go on my Seeley matched with borrani rims. Then 38mm cerianis which were purchased from England and were rebuilt, powder coated and polished and will go on my 1180cc Rickman miler.
 
 Next row is a 1/4 stroker crank and mtc 970cc stroker pistons. Above are mtc 820cc forged 12:5/1 pistons.Above them yoshimura 812cc pistons along side of 2 sets of rc super rods
  To the right, thanks to jl leather are a cyclex balanced crank with their super rods. je 8:1 836cc  forged turbo pistons, a cylinder with 900cc dohc sleeves and cases clearanced for the sleeves.
  Next are a Norris turbo cam along with a kenny harmon "d" grind cam, a rayjay f turbo for the Rickman and 3 b turbos followed by a set of Rickman 38mm triple trees.
Next row air cleaners,atp manifolds, a bendix turbo carb, an rc turbo carb and my favorite(lol), a posa carb.

  At the far right a pair of webers set up for 1000cc and another pair set up for 836cc.
Of course the rest are turbo plumbing parts.

As far as parts for sale go, I am assembling a turbo package including
engine parts such as were recently listed on ebay along with one of my original K1 titled bikes which has to be reassembled, so no one has to guess whether or not the package is legit. Photo of the bike back in the day, the red one in the back round:   



Finally, I would like to see other folks post some of their  buried performance treasures for entertainment, envy and knowledge for dispersal by next of kin. My wife already knows to post here in case of my unfortunate(for me) demise.

I remember that edition of Superbike mag , unfortunately, it ended up being thrown away (with a large quantity of similar mags) many years ago  ::). I particularly remember the article in which Phil Read riding a CBX, got blown away by the Aston Vantage . A guy I know was the top V8 Aston racer in the UK for years , and having chased him many times in his road going Astons on a variety of bikes, I can vouch for how well those cars went once they were wound up . ;D ;D

Greg, She too caught my eye !
Surely Phil Read new that no one can ever beat James Bond, after all those years I seen him in a movie last month doing some serious bike riding chasing a bad guy along the rooftops of the grand bizzar in Istanbull, bit later of course he jumped back into the Aston to pull in some chics........ I dont know how he does it after all those years   ;) ;D ;D ;D

Phil Read was one of the greatest GP riders of all time (in my humble opinion ) but never seems to get the respect he deserves . I know he has always been a bit out spoken, and I believe that he was a bit of a one with the ladies , so perhaps he upset a few influential people back in the day , I don't know , but he sure can still ride a bit  8) 8).

A little out spoken? Crikey, that would seem little unusual for a bloke from the colonies. ;D
Your right though. The man could ride.
