The big V-twin was the fastest motorcycle in the world at the time and with some astute marketing became the bike everyone aspired to own. The Rapide and Black Shadow range have become some of the most desirable and iconic bikes of the era.
This Shadow was bought by the previous owner in 1997 who, after buying the bike, discovered that it had a non-matching rear frame member, at some time in the late sixties, a former keeper and his wife had both owned Vincents, this one and a Comet. It appears that in various engine swaps, the swinging arms ended up being transposed, however, in June 2004, following the greatly appreciated help of the Vincent Owner's Club, the then owner was put in touch with a club member who had the original Shadow rear frame. He was quite happy to re-unite the parts with the correct bike and correspondence detailing the exchange is included as well as the two continuation buff logbooks tracking the various changes. Following the reuniting of the rear frame with the engine the VOC issued a Certificate of Authenticity for the Shadow and the original registration number was also re-assigned to the bike, all correspondence with DVLA is included. The upper frame number is not visible. The electrical system has been upgraded to 12v with coil ignition added for much easier starting, it comes complete with a current V5C.
