Rickman build
captaink:
few more ;D
Also by putting the dummy engine in I could make sure the spacers for the engine to frame that the Rickman frame uses are perfect fits.
I made and replaced the steel spacers for polished stainless steel ones.

Although I'm still waiting for the ally fuel tank to be made which should be about another 8 weeks I had the remaining parts painted and Pre fit the fairing to make sure the stripes and wording are aligned and look straight.
It will go back to the paint shop tomorrow and finished then lacquered.
All this will need to be stripped to the bare to fit the rebuilt engine, which unlike the original frames should lift in with clearance.

A few more
The black edging trim will finish off the job later

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
Laverda Dave:
Seriously great looking bike coming along nicely, keep the pics coming. Ready before the summer ends hopefully?
I have workshop envy, how do you keep yours so clean and immaculate :o!
