Don’t know if anybody has posted this, but there is a Rickman enthusiasts day at the Sammy Miller museum in New Milton UK.

I probably won’t be getting the pipes done immediately unless they are not serviceable to get the bike running but will post when I get them sorted.

I ended up changing both of mine to mend-a-hose specials... £35 each is a bargain and they look very neat, so long as your not looking for "best in show original restoration at the local VJMC rally"
I googled mend a hose and there is one not far from me so that looks like the no1 solution. Already getting great advice on this forum. Cheers Steve

Thanks Rob, I will give them a look, not worried about originality.

I am restoring a CB750 that has stood for many years. The oil tank contained oil so wasn’t left dry. Can anybody tell me if the oil pipes degrade internally over time if the oil is not circulating for long periods. I am assuming there is an internal rubber hose and I don’t want to find this is disintegrating and blocks the oil ways.
Thanks Steve

Thanks, I googled a few places and found one at shorncliffe in Kent called Central Engineering Design that said £750 for the frame and £200 for swing arm + vat, which I didn’t think was too bad.

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.
Well it took me 29 years to start mine so you have some time yet. Wouldn’t mind knowing who you have for plating, mine will need doing.

Hi all, just joined the group as I have an affection for the CB750 SOHC. I owned a K7 back in the 80s which got an 811 kit, cam, CMAs and various other mods and I still have some major parts from that bike. I also bought in 1982 a Rickman CR750 which I still own and have just started to restore, hence joining this group. The CR has been stood for about 29 years so needs a ground up resto. I am planning to get it running before a full strip and have started sorting carbs, electrics and lubrication system.
I live in Solihull in the west mids but hail from Essex originally. The CR shares space in the garage with an 02 Sprint ST 955 and a 73 Kawasaki H1D. I look forward to chatting with you all and getting answers to those questions on the resto.
Cheers Steve
