[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 177602, member: 3426"] I also had the opportunity to exchange pleasantries with Len, it was long ago and I don’t recall any discussion about this particular subject, in fact the only thing I do recall was when I met him his first words were: “I hear you are a Vincent man”. Obviously happy to find someone out in the colonies that could speak the language. My brother had far more conversations with Len and I recall my brother mentioning the generator, battery subject along with a discussion about a bit of a mystery surrounding the instruments. Obviously that info is second hand, but there is also documentation between Indian and Northwest Cycle that specifically mentions the generator which leads me to conclude that if the Lightning came with a generator, it came separately and likely from Indian along with spares for his Rapide. Either way, the definitive answer would be in the works order form and if I recollect correctly, that document is missing. I’m more interested in the story behind the instruments, but I reached a dead end in that one… no pun intended. [/QUOTE]
