If anyone is looking for a Rickman fairing, I have a friend willing to part with his.

Here is a snip from his post to me:
70s era Rickman MK3 fairing. Mounted once and stored since.
Black clear coat, white stripes, original mounting brackets and original clear bubble.
It is super clean with very little to complain about as far as the condition for its age.
$695 OBO. I am unbelievably flexible, take advantage of my post holiday spending paranoia and get yourself a great classic fairing while you're at it!

Please share this to your Moto friends and neighbors offline, methinks I need to sell it while we are all hibernating in our garages.
Thanks and Happy New Year

Bob Angone.

It get his contact info, just PM me and I'll hook you up.

Racing a CBX looks like tossing a B-King around a track, and I've seen my friend do that.

As someone who works at a mortuary, I don't care how indy and hip you think you are, that's incredibly disrespectful. Doubly so because of the fugly cookie cutter bike.

That looks like a brawny Suzuki GS, especially given the extensive bracing and the custom billet triples and GSXR forks.  Unfortunlately the hoses (connecting to the radiator) extending above the tank look way out of place, as do all of the untidy brake and other lines.

That's one of the air/oil cooled engines, so that's an oil cooler, not a rad.  Do agree though the mounting, and hoses leaves something to be desired.

Not sure it's a race bike, given it has a headlight, and the frame has been converted to mono shock.

The Fath 4 was an interesting engine, completely designed & built by the man himself. 8)  Colin Seeley built a frame for it for 500GP racing.  Didn't really start to show it's potential until it was fitted with fuel injection though.  It's best application was in a sidecar.

Make it look like a race bike, then lower it...WTF  ::)  Rear shocks are cheap crap ....Bike looks nice but its useless the way it is there, its a rolling contradiction....
For a couple of hundred dollars I could make that handle as good as it looks.... 8)
