[QUOTE="BigEd, post: 109566, member: 161"] Over a dozen years ago I bought a set of second-hand pipes off eBay to get my Rapide build on the road and check that everything worked. They were sound pipes, probably original, no longer very shiny so probably somebodies cast-offs when they fitted new pipes. Like Bill, a quick tap with a hammer gave that bit more clearance where the rear pipe passes the front head. I have had a set of new stainless pipes for a few years but haven't got around to fitting them ..... yet. Is it because the old pipes work and I've become quite attached to them or is it because I'm a bit reluctant to start to fit what might be a (shiny) can of worms? ;) [/QUOTE]
Insert quotes…
Verification
The Series 'A' Rapide was known as the '********' Nightmare?
