    I've used those on three different bikes, I haven't seen anything else as good as they are

    Hmm, what to do? Got offered this today. Rickman CR900.
    You better hurry up & sell me that SB3 Spyda, before I run out of room.

    If the CR is affordable, grab it. Rocking horse poo - but about as simple as a rocking horse to work on too.
    That one looks to have all the right bits except some decent pods.

    What price would represent affordable? What would it get if it went up on trademe?
    I feel like it needs a round headlamp & a set of Z1 gauges, not that you can see the late gauges in that pic.
    Maybe even a rickman fairing.
    The indicators are a bit new too.
    It's nickel & dime stuff in the grand scheme.
    Goes without saying that it needs a full strip & put back together properly, with new paint as well.

    I have a TR5 Rickman Metisse scrambler, nothing like this though.
    Forks are Ceriani, front wheel does look very /6 BMW.
    They were a kit bike, so have to be looked at fairly hard. Some builders wanted the best, some were on a tight budget.
    Fortunately my scrambler was built by a competitive wealthy perfectionist.

    You sure about the forks ? The dust seals look too long to be Ceriani - more like the Metal Profiles forks most big Rickmans came with.
    Are the caliper mounts integral to the fork legs ?

    I was going off comparing them with the ones on top of the pantry, but you're probably righter than I am.

    measure the legs MP are not Metric. But they look like neither to me?
    1 and 5/8
    I dont think they look that fat though.
    the yokes look more modern and pretty flash? double bold bottom yoke is a modern thing

    looks like the forks are the same as this etc

    Yes, It certainly needs the non period parts tossing away. Regardless, I appreciate they are not to everyone's taste.
    It's nice to have something that takes a bit more finding than simply getting out your wallet like say an RG or RZ500 is at the moment.

    Well, the thing with Rickmans is that you can make them look good or any way you like quite easily. I personally don't like them with high bars and a dual seat.
    On the other hand, there's a black and gold Rickman triumph cafe racer here in ChCh which is probably the best looking bike I've ever seen. very like the pic Husa posted. Clip ons and a single seat with the right headlight and you won't recognise it.

    Then there's the whole handling thing...If I told you how much frame bracing and engine remounting in a stock frame is required to get a hot Z1 to actually go in a straight line with the power on, you wouldn't believe me. These frames are lighter and waaaay stiffer.
