Part 2: Rickman Metisse, 1959 Matchless G12/G15 engine & Norton transmission by Randy's Cycle Service & Restoration in Central Virginia, USA. www.rcycle.com / info@rcycle.com. Fee-based Mechanical advice available. We do not source or stock parts or sell vehicles.
Now I see!
Rickman probably never built a frame for the Matchless G12 engine like they did for the G80/85 single cylinder engine. That is why all the extra custom fitting, frame modifications, and custom primary cover is required. I hope someone checked with Rickman-Motorcycles first to see if they did have a frame jig for the twin..... ?
That is going to be one expensive custom bike!
Looking good and it will (probably) be unique.
