[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 115670, member: 456"] Interesting. That is what comes of having the works prototype. This bike, the prototype Black Knight has a late 'C' engine gearbox unit and the original log book shows that it was owned by the factory for about a year. The photograph you show indicated a rather short bush in the pinion whereas mine, being made from a 'C' engine has a long bush, presumably because the crank case had been machined to a depth suitable for a 'C'. I had never realised that this machining was shallower on the 'D's when compared with the 'C's. On a different matter, I also have a 'D' rear frame triangle, nothing to do with the prototype, which has the correct parts for the prop for the enclosed 'D' rear cowl. 'D' rear chain guard etc. but also has the cross drilling for the brake cross over arm as was used with the 'B' and 'C. rear brakes. [I][B]No such thing as a standard Vin.[/B][/I] [/QUOTE]

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