Rickman project
« on: November 30, 2010, 07:23:11 PM »
My 1975 Rickman project is about finished.  It was a barn find that was never completed, or titled.  It was in rough condition, but turned out very nice after lots of work.  It has a 1972 Dunstall exhaust installed, to give it a vintage look and great sound!

Superb!!! MHO - the Rickman was the highest evolution of the CB750. Wore out a window with my nose staring at one in a dealers showroom when I was a teenager. Still makes me drool. Even the right color!

I have not got a title yet.  I have all of the original sale paperwork,(sale price of $1,095), including a letter from the Vetter Faring Company to the original owner, stating that they cannot supply a manufactures statement of origin, because they no longer import Rickmans.  That letter was dated 1978.

That's one hell of a barn find, well done! ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

i really hope you don't have any title issues, that would sure be a great bike to "waste" by not riding on the road!!
