[QUOTE="danno, post: 26584, member: 1372"] Hi Having recently got my late father's series C Rapide back on the road with help from the forum :D I'm curious as to how much vibration is expected at 60 -70mph. Seems to be a tad vibey. I haven't touched the throttle sync as this has been set during restoration and I've set the mixture at about 1 turn out.Starts and runs no probs. On the way back from a classic bike show one day he did manage to sieze the motor (post restoration) trying to ride it like he used to back in the day! It did start again but he thought he may have slighty bent a conrod hence my original query. Maybe worth getting it checked. My father used to use Bob Culver in Stevenage. Any help appreciated.

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