I would check ebay. I see plenty of rickman montesa swingarms on there but i cant say i have seen many CR swing arms. Heres a comparison of stock honda and rickman: The stock is longer and a little wide. Im sure you could make it fit with adjustments, but i would look into 70s british swing...

nothing big, should have plenty of stuff done over christmas though. Picked up some drag pipes :P im sure ill piss some purists off with them.

If honda tried to produce a modern cb750 theres a good chance it would fail and ruin the image of the 70s cb750s.

Re nickeled it. If you dont want to pay the big dollars, take it to a polisher and just ask if they could do it. You would be surprised how good an experienced polisher can bring it up. But even with that, it could still be expensive. With the Rickman, there was no other option. The frame was...

I accidentally put the shocks into the wrong tabs... haha. But thats fixed now.

Its all good info. I mean, Im trying to avoid spending money on a set that wont do what i want them too. Thanks.

Thanks man, ill save those for now. Would it really be a horrible thing to do if i put 4 into 2s on it?

I can see why nobody wants the stock pipes. haha. looks good naked man. I might have to settle with some stubby 4 into 2s.

Why do you say "should"? I mean, when they first came out, the donor bike would generally have the original 4 into 4 set. 4 into2 is just my personal preference.

So i figure you guys are the experts when it comes to this sort of thing. Im after an exhaust set up for the honda rickman im building. Stock honda systems dont really do it for me and its pretty hard to get a "like new" set for a decent price. Ideally a 4 into 2 period correct race set up. I...

i did show up on caferacer forum a while back. im posting most of the stuff up on customfighters though. nothing new to add yet. the lucas copy indicators are great! i dont think i would have found any real ones that quality and i didnt want to settle with standard cb750 ones. before painting...

whats this i hear about blasphemy!? haha, they made the kawas and hondas during the same time period and they pretty much identical parts. the hondas use stock honda side guards though. if you werent aware they made kits for honda, your probably also unaware they made kits for triumphs. i bet...

ill keep this short and sweet. for a while i have been restoring my fathers old rickman. the following photos will show you the state it started in, and although its nowhere near complete, im sure some of you will be interested. :) also, i am taking all precautions will the renickelling...

heres the set up for a cl350 exhaust. not sure if it will help, but if your just looking for mount points then it should. If not, that site is still incredibly useful and worth bookmarking. http://www.cmsnl.com/honda-cl350-scrambler-350-k4-usa_model549/partslist/F13-1.html

My dad had it sitting in his shed getting dusty. told me if i wanted to put in the effort and get all the missing pieces (engine was the big thing) than it was mine. Something that has kind of stumped me is how to adjust the chain, im not that far into the project but really, i cant figure it...
