Yep thats my bike on the video clip. Well done A_HRD for spotting those parts - I've just bought them! I have been trying to track them down for the past few months but with no luck. I have all the patents and drawings of the components in the file that accompany's the bike along with the article in Motorcycle magazine. It looks like the swinging arm is still missing but i don't think that made it into the auction so i am hopeful i can still track that down.

Ive been doing some more research on the moulten suspension that was featured on my bike back in the mid/late forties and in Motorcycle 1947, and have now acquired a cracking photograph that shows the bike with this setup. I'm now on a mission to locate the remaining parts or the tech drawings to remake the RFM. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.
