Re: Swinging arm thread.

I have a Swenco swingarm on my Super Rat. I will measure the length and post. I believe it is 1 inch longer.

Re: Swinging arm thread.

Here is a pic of a nicely modified Ace 100 swing arm. Works well.

Re: Rickman

I would say your bike is number 16 according to the Rickman book. The numbers were mixed in with the Zundapps.

Mine is actually 870-727H12. Which translates to number 302.

Re: Spoke sets

I recently laced a front and rear wheel with these spokes. They worked ok. Not original but not bad. The plating is good. I would buy them again. Hope this helps

Rickman

Does anyone have an estimate as to how many Rickman Hodakas are in existence? I know there were 412 built, but I wonder how many survivors are out there. I had to buy the huge and expensive Rickman book just to decipher the frame number. Very odd numbering system.

Rickman Hodaka

I am in need of an airbox for a Rickman Hodaka. Also, does anyone know if a Rickman Zundapp blue mx airbox will fit? Thanks to all.

Re: Swenco swing arm

I just picked up a Swenco front end and it got me thinking about buiilding a Desert race play bike. I had a Swenco swing arm on my old Super Rat. I actually managed to bend it when I hit a rock and destroyed my rear wheel. Jerry was kind enough to replace it for me. Good old days.
