RICKMAN / AVON LYNX
The Rickman brothers, Don and Derek, started their career in off-road racing and started building road race frames in the mid-sixties. Under their 'Metisse' brand name they built nice double cradle-type, brazed, nickel plated frames that could be fit with a variety of British engines (ie. Triumph, BSA, Norton, Velocette).
The two Rickman Avon fairing assemblies pictured here are Richmond units. These two-piece units split underneath the upper and can be ordered without the lower, as a half fairing.
The uppers will fit both most bikes, the lowers will not fit inline fours (too narrow).
In the early seventies the Japanese burst the British bubble with their inline fours and in 1974, when BSA/Triumph went under, Rickman responded by building Competition Replica's (CR) based on the Honda CB750 and Kawasaki Z1 900 engines. The japanese fours were notoriously ill handling when pushed hard, and the Rickman chassis blew both the stock CB750 and Z1 frame out of the water.
We've got the Rickman CR fairings, tank and seat as well. Click here to see them.
