Welcome Steve. I bought my CR in 1994. I've still got it but it's in large lumps at the moment. I think I have now found a company who can re-nickel plate the frame.Good luck with your restoration and keep us posted with photos.
I'll let you know when it comes to sending the frame for re- plating. I was at the Kempton Park auto jumble last weekend and got talking to Maitland Racing as he's now building CR Rickman replica frames for Honda CB750's. He told me he uses a place near Southampton. There can't be too many platers around there so it's just a case of trawling the Web. He did warn me though to clean the welds around the brackets as this will cost a fortune in polishing time if left to the plater to do.
