Be very interesting for Champion to check the length of his RFM if it is a short one I have only seen three they were on the 1948 Earls Court Show 500 models

Look at the Vincent HRD Gallery page 55 this is how they were fabricated for the 1948 Show even the rear springs and boxes were modified,

take a pic of what you want and place an ad in Old Bike Mart. I have been very successful in finding Norton stuff this way.

As an update, I've managed to source a straight stay RFM and am now in the process of building the rear end of the bike. Gonna be a busy spring in the kitchen.......

I "heard" that there were probably 150 of the longer straight tab RFM's built. I was told that there was potential for the seat stay to go over center; so it was curved forward to keep the angle. Like I said, I "heard' all of this.
