| You are looking at my own Jawa Metisse Rickman. First assembled in 2003 from a new frame kit, but three years ago work started (by then it had only done three outings!) On modifying it to its present condition. Engine is an 591cc Bull Eddie titanium con-rod, methanol-burning powerhouse! Engine has only run for one hour since Eddie Bull's magic fingers modified the bore and stroke, gas-flowed head, etc. The Carburetor is a 38mm 1000 series Concentric, ignition is InterSpan. Gearbox is a close ratio Dave Coates unit, coupled to at NEB alloy clutch. All engine mounting studs, wheel spindles and swinging arm spindle are titanium. 95% of the bolts on the bike are titanium, with aircraft spec 'K' nuts. Ceriani forks are Mazzochi with internals. New tailor-made Reiger dampers make up the rear. Alloy rims, new tires Michelin S12, magnesium front hub and brake plate, and a magnesium rear hub and brake KTM plate.and vivid, professionally prepared, and wants nothing! |
