Summary:
Used 1950 50 miles Black
Location:
Cartersville, VA
Description:
Vincent Rapide. Not matching numbers. Fully restored. I have a few of these and as this one was not a matching numbers bike I decided to restore it and chrome all the polished aluminum and many other parts This was something I always wanted to do and it looks fantastic. An extremely expensive and time consuming undertaking I assure you. It was restored with no regard to cost and it stays shiny and polished merely with a wipe now and then. The paint has 4 base coats and 8 clear coat layers and is the best I've ever seen. The chrome was triple plated and redone a few times to get to this level. It is almost impossible to keep a vincent always this bright as the aluminum tarnishes whatever you do.Even when you polish,you can't get into the crevices properly and none of us do unless it's for a concourse at huge expense in labor. The motor has been fully done 5 years ago before my decision to restore it. I have put around 50 miles on it. Everything else on the bike was either restored or replaced where necessary. I have not run it or even put oil in since assembly 2 years ago and it just sits in my office as an artifact. I have over 300 photos and video of the step by step tear down and reassembly. If this is something that appeals to you and you're not a pedantic purist ,it is the best you can get. It obviously needs some final fettling before you put it on the road. (Carb setting,fluids,etc). After that a few miles in order to set up suspension, steering, brakes and Re-torque all bolts and nuts.
