[QUOTE="Texas John, post: 100737, member: 3367"] I believe most of the hoses on my 1948 Rapide are original, and they are NOT Herringbone patterned. They are rough, with the appearance and coarseness of regular woven cloth, e.g. bed sheet or something. Perhaps they were wrapped with cloth when placed into molds for heating when being made? The larger return hose is Herringbone, but it has no ferrule (or clamp), and I think it is a replacement. I have had the bike since 1974; when I got it, its most recent usage had been flat track racing, although it had been sitting (resting?) for awhile. I need to check the ferrules to see if they were crimped or not. [/QUOTE]

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