Rickman Metisse CZ project

[sudman]

I like it other than pipe/muffler

[VMX60]

CZ project is starting to come along after  getting a steering stem shaft made to fit ossa yokes to the rickman up pops a set of correct rickman parts on USA Ebay they have just arrived fitted new bearing plus 35mm betors with a ossa front wheel looks ok
Rear wheel is Husky offset for chain line










Plus change model of CZ motor going to 5 speed 1974  with the slip on ex pipe to clear the  frame tube
Still lots to do

Cheers

I love this stuff . This is going to be a great little bike. How is the exhaust clearance? A fellow forum member is contemplating fitting a Husky 250 motor to his Micro Metisse (as I indicated elsewhere) and I figured that the Husky sideport would foul the downtube. If the CZ clears just maybe the Husky will too which will make him a happy camper as he's a Husky racer with plenty of spares.

What bodywork are you using? Are you going to stick with that Yamaha tank or will you go back to the stock setup? I'm looking forward to getting back into my little Rickman project once the current projects are out of the way.

Good Stu...but who's the bloke next to Ugly Betty wearing the Husky Jersey and the fella walking away with the helmet? Note my trials Maico, Jeep and Hindall Ducati in the trailer

I'm more concerned with the guy in the trenchcoat in the background

The CZ Exhaust will clear even with the early bolt up flange being a two part pipe the header can be offset to right side by pivoting a few mm

The Husky has a bolt up flange but the one piece up pipe header angle could be a pain to fit if using a std Husky pipe bit of cutting maybe sure it could be made to fit as the Husky bike has single downtube frame but with the twin tube frame 

My f/glass is new plain white gel coat mk4 Montesa has the high front guard like to go with a low early type with the metal mk4 tank that Tossa found with his motor deal

What colour to paint no idea as yet

Cheers and get well soon all your projects are waiting

Update on the CZ / Rickman

Motor all done 5 speed with Motoplat 34mm mikuni

Rear Husky wheel has to much offset to get the chain line so have to go with the matching set of Ossa Phantom wheels waiting on a rear brake plate assy ex USA plus a ACK inlet for the Mikuni

Overall on track for a TUNING DAY in May at Narrogin 












Cheers

Looking good Murray I'd better get that tank down to you, hopefully friday.  Are you going to the tuning weekend this weekend

[VMX60]

Hi Barry

No tuning day for me but the blue ossa is still here to have a look at when you can drop the tank off

Thanks Again
