[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 140517, member: 60"] The assemblies I have known all needed a larger hole in the polly block. It will be interesting to see the survival rate of the 'shock absorber' with a Burman clutch as opposed to a Honda. Cant give you a torque figure for the nut as the only place on a Vincent I use one is on the head nuts As I said my impression is that the Comet seems to 'lug' more and I thought that may be the shock absorber feedback. However I did notice today that the rear alloy wheel I pinched from the creation of the racing twin has a neat '46' written on its sprocket and I doubt that it belonged to Rossie so I had better delve into my sprocket store and find a 48 tooth one (that may be harder than you may think as so many are for 5/8 X1/4 chain now.) And as the great Bob McIntyre once said "speed is no a great concern o' mine" [/QUOTE]

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