[QUOTE="Dominique2, post: 108148, member: 2929"] very interesting ! as I own the 5th Black Shadow, the first in France ordered with a [I][B]sauce pan clock but with KM/ph[/B][/I] , as noted on the Works Order Form (only 2 x B Shadow were sent to France ...in june 1948) I am looking for a Sauce Pan Clock (it was change to a more modern one later) [U]If I could find one or someone who can rebuild one , it would be great ![/U] Anyway, it is great bike in this condition [B]what it is funny: there is no B at the end of the number stamped on the UFM, [I]mine[/I][/B] (as on a Rapide and I gues it is the same on Bob Culver first one...note sure) , but there is a mention on one among the two documents : a [B]B[/B] is added on a document but not written on the other (on the Works Order Form the [B]B[/B] is written, but not on the Engine Specification Sheet, mentioned as a Rapide !!!) On the 2 documents, even it is a Shadow (F10AB/1B/ 000) it is noted as a Rapide B , so I Wonder if they could wait for the decision of a right new name to promote these first new models... I would like to know if there are the same difference on the first one. [/QUOTE]
