Hello Everyone,
Well ive been putting this off for probably a year now. This 1948 Rapide is up and running nicely. TP 600cc top ends and 5 speed quaife gearbox and everything else you can buy that's not original. The frame is basically stock and really only a test bed for the engine. I went overboard on the frame rebuild. Im taking the engine out to put into the Mcintosh Egli frame i bought a couple of years ago . Its a roller now. With 38 mm forks and Yamaha brakes. 260mm and 220mm front and rear respectively. Im assembling a std twin to take its place. The reason i hear you say? He likes the Egli style frame. Good enough for me. It wont take long as you know. 3 bolts and some oil lines. Have to make a temporary frame to hold front and rear together also. Well thats about it for now.
Keep healthy
Regards
Brian
