[QUOTE="davidd, post: 33555, member: 1177"] It is not clear. Borrani would be the likely guess as they supplied high shouldered rims on some Lightnings and some Flashes. It is a little difficult to tell because if your bike was supplied with low shouldered rims from the factory and they were damaged, the likely aftermarket replacemant would have been the Borrani. There are some bikes that have a high shouldered Borrani on one end and a low shouldered rim on the other. I would guess that the Borrani was a replacement, but this is rarely good evidence to indicate what happened. The low shouldered rims that have no markings which were supplied on most Flashes and many Lightnings have never been identified. John Bland remembers sourcing the low shouldered rims in Italy, but he does not remember which supplier. Borrani, like Dunlop, appear to have always marked their rims for trademark reasons. San Remo made a low shouldered rim without markings, but there is no evidence that San Remo was a supplier to Vincent. David [/QUOTE]
