    Hello , Well finally the Vincent is off the stand and as advertised on the driveway. I've had the engine running and all is well. Unfortunately this is the end for this bike as it stands. The engine is coming out to go into the Egli frame. Wheels and suspension are here now. It's been a long...

    Vincent Black Shadow complete engine repair, rebuild and modification

    What seals do you have on your inspection caps Patrik? I just have o rings. Maybe should buy the V3 seals off Neale Videan here in Aus. I don't need to lose any caps. You've done really well though. Cheers Brian Sent from my SM-G900I using DO THE TON mobile app

    It's coming along really well Patrik. At least your giving my followers an idea of what I should be up too. I let them down with the BSA goldstar build. But that might be coming out to be finished off soon. And I'll be starting an Egli build soon after that. If only I could finish one project...

    It's coming together nicely. Good luck with the timing. All my gears are new and no timing marks. It's very time consuming. I think you will be passing me soon. I better get too it. Sent from my SM-G900I using DO THE TON mobile app

    Hello Buellingvincent , Glad your making headway. The space you have looks great. I've had to make up 26 mm spacers to get clearance on the belt for now. I've ground away a lot of the primary cover also. My next task is to remove some of the fuel tank for clearance on the front carb. Then run...

    For those of you loyal followers please don't give up hope on me finishing this one. There have been a few problems recently that have been over come and I should be full steam ahead again. I'm seeing what troubles I come up against fitting these dellorto carbs today. Looks like the tank will...

    Hi Everyone, Well I have been busy fitting parts. I have the gear change,selector, kick start cover and gears assembled. I fitted the exhaust today. That's a nasty job but anyway. Just have to still fit the tank brackets. That rear guard took me nearly 50 hours all up. From polishing to making...

    Hi Patrik, I can appreciate the time it takes to modify and make it all work. I have 3 of Bob's belt drives now. I bought extra 30 mm pulleys and belts. I like the way you have got the original primary cover to fit without a spacer. That's a lot of machining. Keep me up too date Cheers Brian...

    Hi Patrik, Good luck with that. It seems a long time ago since I fitted this gearbox. I fitted a 5 speed from Quaife. I made steel spacers for the seals to run on instead of the alloy ones Bob supplies. Cheers Brian Sent from my SM-G900I using DO THE TON mobile app

    Hi Patrik, Ive fitted a 40 mm belt drive. I'm going to make a spacer with using an old cover I think. At least you woul;d have had a great day out talking Vincent's. I don't have anyone close I can chat too. Though saying that terry prince only lives 60 miles away. Cheers Brian

    Hello Patrik, Sorry for the late reply. I haven't covered the belt drive as yet. I'm waiting on an aftermarket clutch cover to butcher. Ive just read your posts on the Accessnorton site. I liked it very much. Your well on your way. Good luck with it all. Cheers Brt651 P.S I like your conrod...

    Hi Guys, I'm glad your enjoying this build. I've been waiting since December for clutch arm parts. I have done some assembly but not much. I'll put a picture up soon as the parts i'd been waiting for arrived on Thursday. I'm also looking at doing an Egli-Vincent build. I'll know more tomorrow...
