This plate is undoubtedly original to the bike and would probably have been anodised. On other GFs these plates were usually left polished.






I thought I’d take the opportunity to “show a bit o’ leg” here. Finishing off is underway and Bert is busy snagging.
What wheels / rims are you using ( ours had 21″x WM1 and 20″ x WM2 rear) same as my Lightningised Rapide done by Clifford Brown (Georges brother) in 1953. We had LRO 993 for several years with big port head.
