1970 Rickman Triumph 750cc Metisse Cafe Racer.

The exceptional bike offered here has been built up using the very best components and artisans with an in-depth knowledge. Most CRs were built as a Caf é Racer, a spectacular looking machine that is beyond uncomfortable to ride, but this wears Roadster bodywork, a far rarer option. It has a shorter

fuel tank, dual seat, forward-mounted footpegs and higher handlebars for far greater comfort. Hanging in the frame is a TR6SR engine, of 1966 vintage the last year of SR manufacture. Only 1,631 SRs were built in 1966 and a total of just over 3,000 in the 3-year run.

At the top-end resides a very care Chantland 750cc kit. A highly collectible and rare part if you can find one, the Chantland kit is well-renowned as about the best upgrade available. To this, Amal Mk. II carburetors with alloy velocity stacks were installed, and the engine exhales via Dunstall-replica mufflers. It starts easily, regularly on the first or second kick, and idles strong. The engine feels very tight and responsive

and it shows great power. Brakes are excellent. Like, really, really surprisingly good! Suspension feels taut and now, the entire electrical system works perfectly.

Cosmetically, the bike is generally excellent. It was obviously built some time ago and there is a very minor surface rust evident if you look closely at a few components. Seat is perfect, as is bodywork. There is a small scuff in the tank ’s front edge, pictured. The bike would make a worthy addition to any collection, ticking all the collector boxes: great rarity, exceptional condition, and desirability. And, of course, it runs perfectly. It is a blast to ride. And fast.

Anaheim
Jan 01, 2024

1947 Harley Davidson Knucklehead FL Motorcycle.

40,586 Miles on the speedometer. Clear title! It was last on the road in 2004. Looks to be a mix of Panhead/Knucklehead/Shovelhead. It was purchased from an estate. Previous owner had passed. So could not get all the details of the build. It looks to have been built for a nice riding knucklehead.

Looks to be a 1960's? Shovelhead frame. The engine turns over with lots of compression. Matching belly numbers. Both front and rear brakes no not work. They will need to be rebuilt. Both Tanks are clean inside. The right tank has a dent in the rear , Tanks are solid.

The throttle works fine (Gas was drained before storage). Bike shifts through the gears. The clutch pulls nicely. The Goodyear tires look great , with lots of tread left. Also no dry rot. Trip Odometer works. The chrome does show some rust/pitting. Everything is solid. Seat is stiff. M-74 Carburetor. The frame looks to have no cuts or modifications. I do not see any repairs to the engine.
