Thanks Rich, I don't have any more. It moved on over 20 years ago (the usual story, working every hour, young family, lost storage etc) never got to take it on track as I didn't have "full leathers" but it sounds like you have experienced a good selection of UK tracks.
PS: 73z1 apologies for hijacking your thread with memories of "the past" :)

Those carbs look like 29 mm Mikuni smoothbores.  (On the RAU)
I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.

Wookie,
No apology necessary.
All the comments are interesting.
I never owned or saw a Rickman.

That´s absolute correct, Hardrock!,..but they´ve been on the EGLI ( recognizable by the rectangular casting mark above the floatbowl..i´ve used these carbs on a few old Kakas i´ve had in the past..., For me, always a good choice!)
 

Bye the way about the RAU-Kawasaki:
Later in `85, i´ve mount a, ( at this time very rare), "performance" half-fairing from the KVAS-KOOL-Team, with the oilcooler above the double headlights...i remember, it was a challenge for me, to design and build the fairing mount, complete construction incl. coolermount, headlight mounts, fitted to the frame, easy removeable...racelike ;-) ....sold it in ´88 for a new project-plan... ...Always the same old story in my life:  One toy have to go for another dream...That´s the salt in the soup!

   


 
Greetings, Joe
