[QUOTE="rapcom, post: 28146, member: 191"] Gentlemen, Whilst dismantling my Black Knight in search of a suspicious noise, the fact that you have to remove the FT293AS crash bars to remove the front head struck me as rather inconvenient. To remove them, you have to undo three of the crankcase studs, which is undesirable if you do not intend to split the crankcases. It would be a useful modification to devise a way of removing the crash bars from the engine plates, presumably using some form of male/female spigot/socket arrangement, whilst retaining sufficient structural integrity for the crash bars to still fulfil their intended purpose of not only holding the side panels, but also protecting the bike (and your leg) in the event of an accident. Has anyone done this modification, and if so, exactly how? Are there any drawbacks which I have not thought of? Many thanks Rapcom [/QUOTE]

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