The manual shows the bolt as m8 56mm

The ones i have which fit perfectly  are m8 40mm

56mm will hang out miles

Is there another model or something I'm missing as i need to.replave these bolts as plating is wrecked

Tricks & Tips / Nickel frame restoration tips
« on: September 07, 2019, 09:53:21 PM »
Evening all

Anyone got any good solid advice for restoring a nickel frame and preventing further rust.  I dont really want to have it renickeled unless i really have to as i want it to look its age with sensible patena but not tired. But it definitely needs to be sealed or something to prevent further issues

Thanks

Pete

CB750 / Cr750 rickman 1977
« on: August 31, 2019, 03:06:36 PM »
Afternoon all,

Ive recently obtained the above rickman based on a cb750.

It has been dormant for a lot of years and im just trying to do some home work before things get replaced etc.

It has a z650 front end and brakes on it. I was told this was because they were a better upgrade. Anyone else have any info o  this please.  Ive got to replace or refurb the fork tubes and one caliper as beyond repair but just wanted to make sure i was going in right direction before i start

Thanks

Pete
