Liverpool bike wreckers is in emu plains, which is right next to 'the rith'

So did you end up swapping the front end on ur 650?
The guy in Penrith, Coreen Ave is who I used to go to for advice, cant think of his name.

Mine had spoked wheels and lockheed brakes. sans motor and fibreglass, could pick the whole thing up with one hand. :kuda: :kuda:

same colour/design as the green one above 'cept Honda Four motor and Yoshi 4-1 short exhaust.


Makes me want to go look for it :kuda:

Nice 750
Its interesting to see the instrument bracket on the 1st bike, looks exactly the same as the one my dad made up.

When we got the bike it had 2 Rod Tingate alloy tanks, stamped Tingate Racing, around a kangaroo. The tanks were in bad shape, so we took them to Rod and he made up new tanks using the bases of the old ones.
The original pipes look pretty good on the 900. But for racing probably not so practical.

not yet - I did this front-end swap on one of my z750's a couple of times, but haven't bothered with the 650, as it ended up becoming a daily commuter-hack, so it was easier to just leave it stock.

Those other Rickman photos look great :kuda:
