Rickman build
captaink:
I had an issue with the engine being offset more to the offside of the bike. All spacers were exactly as they came of the bike when I stripped it except I made them in stainless but they were the same.
Nevertheless getting the engine aligned by modifying the spacers ensures the sprockets are aligned correctly and the chain runs straight.
The Rickmans method of wheel adjustment is not as straight forward as most bikes but once you get your head round it it's fine.
Adjustment is done by offset washers on the frame to swingarm.
The chain runs true now
The fairing is just how I want it, no transfers as everything is airbrushed on and lacquered. Rubber trimmed around the edges.
Tomb:
WOW! 8)
I can only gape in awe.
Nurse Julie:
+1 on the WOW !. I know diddly squat about those bikes but it looks stunning.

I acquired 2 Oil hoses from Silvers but they did not fit opps £ . I ended up making hoses using race spec oil and fuel hose and re used the ends that came from the Silvers hoses, so not all was lost.
These I had crimped on after modifying the crimps and ends slightly.
The tank welding is second to none , the tank came from Holt works, Tony and Michelle Holt.
As I am now using a 4 into 4 exhaust instead of the 4 into 1 it came with, the gear and brake pedals are in the way so it is currently being modified.

Once I have made the tank strap fit ill post a picture, the strap is stainless steel polished with a rubber underlay, the ends are stainless.
I had one before for a Triton I used to have , they are seriously nice quality.. but at a price
Tank indentation is 32mm the strap is the same
