[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 20285, member: 2708"] I'm planning on bolting the rear up the way a standard Vincent is done and will follow the tightening procedure in Rider's handbook. That has worked OK on the OZ Rapide for 63 years so far! One concern is the al. head brackets on the Glenli. I got thinking about the heat expansion of the head brackets (beyond the exp. of the hanger bolt) causing the rear mount to get tight and prevent the slide. But then, by the time much expansion of the head bracket has happened, the slide should also have happened, so maybe it's nothing to worry about. In any case, the cross bolt will be stainless which has a thermal expansion coefficient approaching that of al. Glen [/QUOTE]

The Series 'A' Rapide was known as the '********' Nightmare?
