Included with the parts comprising my Rapide basket case was a front brake plate, suitably cut out for the speedometer drive. This pleased me, as making it unnecessary to acquire one elsewhere. I duly sent it off to the powdercoater, but on looking at it again I noticed a strange feature. The cutout for the speedo drive is positioned exactly opposite where it is on all the other plates I've seen. But why?
Anyone seen one of these before?
- For some Vincent variant with a speedo drive positioned behind the fork?
- For some Vincent variant with the speedo drive on the left side?
- Mistaken production by a dyslexic aftermarket supplier?
Anyone seen one of these before?
