[QUOTE="craig, post: 33610, member: 1959"] I value your input, but in fact this is exactly how the early B Rapides (1946/47) were issued to the detail. This photo is not a special test anomaly or photo shop. I dont agree that it is untidy. The curved front brake cable is visable. This configuration was revised during the first 500 early Rapides and this configuration does appear to be a carry over from the late A series Vincent. I am not sure why the chokes are full on. The early B Rapide tank striping appears to be a carry over of the A series pattern as well, but does not seem to have been issued to more than a couple dozen Rapides. It would be nice to see more period photos for 1947 and 48. [/QUOTE]
