Ken's red Vincent

Photos of the 1950 red Vincent Rapide I did with / for Ken Engels of Ken's Powder Coating in Spanaway Washington, about thirty years ago. Ken offered me lifetime of his PowderCoating service in exchange for me doing his Vincent for him. I put $8000 of my own money into the rebuild. and had it on and off in the shed for thirteen years, working on it in stages,  as he would take it home for a time, and take it to shows, then bring it back for another section of it to be totally gone through, and made to as new spec. 

As I had never done a Vincent, I purchased every book printed that I could find, to study up on the bike.
