[QUOTE="b'knighted, post: 56837, member: 59"] When you say D subframe do you mean the seat support frame? If it is from a D Rapide or Shadow it would need altering to fit a Comet, even if you had a D Comet. I do have one which has been modified to fit a C Comet giving a fully sprung seat and luggage but remaining otherwise C. Used with Thornton suspension it does make a comfortable bike although the standard C seat has to be fitted a bit further back. A D seat could probably be fitted but they were not that comfortable anyway, hence the king & queen on my Knight. I've never seen any of the peculiarly D Comet or Victor parts in the D parts list which doesn't go into spectacular detail on the different D twin parts. Rather than cutting up a D seat frame I'd suggest selling it and buying, or having made, a sledge as recommended by Mr Stevens. I've seen similar things offered new in either mild steel or stainless on eBay. [/QUOTE]

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