Hi Pete,
Frame not back from platers yet and no prices as yet, all the other nickel and chrome parts are with them as well, I'll let you know £ though.
Almost every nut and bolt is stripped now,
Found someone who has or can supply fork o rings and seal etc, stantions will go off for re Chroming and overhaul even though there not worn where it matters and the ally legs will get polished

I knocked up a basic engine  stand, essential once it starts going back together.

Whilst you have it apart check carefully the sides of the selector forks and the tops of the "Lumps" in the selector pin tracks(hope you understand what i mean) any wear shows in those places first

I'll give them a check over then
The head is going off for new guides and valves complete tomorrow
And the cases are already into the vapour blasters workshop after which I'm sending them up to have new APE studs fitted and a visual check over.
There going to sort out new pistons and rings.
I was advised that the gearbox bearings don't usually wear except one but might change all anyway as I get them trade cost.
I'm away for a couple of weeks, when I come back hopefully some parts will be ready

Some bearings are grooved. Which ones do you use is it the C3 high speed type?

No idea yet but as each bearing has a number it won't be a problem
I only use top bearings no cheapies

The gearbox bearings WILL be a problem as the grooves are not a standard size so "Normal" bearings to number won't fit

Yamiya are a good source for those bearings with grooves (e.g. CB750K0 output shaft bearing) or location holes round the outer shell. What would you use for those that look 'standard' Bryan, would it be C3 rating? and which manufacturer?

I'll ask our bearing rep when he comes in next.
Most things can be overcome if you throw enough £ at them
Points taken though I'll re use if I have too

While I'm waiting for parts on the rickman to come back I returned to another project I'm on.
I already have a CR 750 replica in Honda colours but I want a CR 750 in Dick Mann colours but a usable bike, like with electric start. The other one is a balls out racer and not very usable even though it's road registered.
It's early days but I have a 1977 frame with V5 in good condition, shot blasted in primer  and ready for chopping about.
I have started to remove Some brackets
Early days

I think that would be best Pete otherwise it will do my head in jumping from one to another.
Also the wife won't see it.

So let's call it the  "CR 750 for road use build"

It might be a bit slower than the Rickman as there's a bit more work involved me thinks.
