I can see that others may have had problems posting pictures.
I am , it used to be ok but now no go
I usually upload pictures from my phone to my Yahoo, downsize them in photoshop to around 450kb
and use the site attachments and other options bar, browse, load the picture and post.... But no go.
thoughts ?

The devils in the detail Phil
I don't like to spend lots of money on the paintwork but that's what everyone sees on the finished job
Question
Do you know the entire length of the original CR mudguards ? and what length is yours. ? what diameter wheels are you using ?
It looks good and as near as it can be.
My forks are GL1000 and ill need some mods as well as a fork brace.

I only picked the panel up today but its candy red 2 parts, candy tangerine 1 part over a matt silver base.
ill have more details later but with the white and black it will look stunning.
My painter is top dog , he's old school
Having been the painter for the original batman movie car, Gerry Andersons thunderbirds, seats on big brother, Red Bulls F1 concept car at Goodwood etc etc.

Well just a bit to add really, I have been busy with my Rickman build and have now built its engine as well as the engine for the CR750.
I have been patiently waiting for the tank to be made for the Rickman by Holtworks and have been assured it will be very soon ( 36 weeks now ). I'll die of old age before I get it me thinks.
The colour has been decided for the CR and that will all be painted soon, seat fairing and tank. Yet to source the front mudguard though

Some parts are back from the paint shop.
I'm still waiting on the ally fuel tank to be made should be mid October.
All the lettering and stripes are airbrushed on NOT tranfers.
The original F2 Engine is now back in the frame.

Hi, I'm having a aluminium petrol tank made at the moment for my Rickman CR 750 and will be looking for a stainless steel tank support strap.
I think it will need to be custom made but wondered if anyone has had a strap made before.
Would need to be about 50mm width.
Any thoughts appreciated

Was looking at the room today and the floor was in need of a real good clean, bit scruffy at moment. I'm anal really.
Probably not ready this summer as other projects on the move as well.
Carbs came back last week they look ok !

Although I had a bigger problem with the head gasket for the later F2 engine in relation to the oil seals barrel to head and the larger 836cc big bore kit. I have received two gaskets from Australia ( jap bike spares ) made by Forsetti and they fit perfectly as opposed to punching the holes out larger.
Picture is for information
