So I'm changing the pushrods on my A Rapide, and I need to figure out how to access easily the engine to remove the cylinder heads.
So this is what I did - and I think I've stumbled across a new concept in motorcycle design !!
If I tidy it up, and maybe bolt the frame to the cylinder heads instead of the engine plates ......hmm, maybe even put the oil in top tube ??

Think I'll call it Series B !!

I suppose you could cast some massive crankcases with substantial head and barrel through-bolts, maybe go for unit construction as these Burman gearboxes aren't so strong ??

Nice to see I'm not the only one who has spent too much money on things musical. When I can get my head around the uploading bit I'll send a picture- as yet, 5x gibson, 4x fender, marshall blues breaker, one gibson moderne bought from John Entwisle. Prs custon 22, and several lesser but still enjoyable bits.
