Yes indeed nice looking welds. I checked the Philippe Guyony book about Vincents and it looks like the main difference to a traditional Egli frame is the rectangular pipe swingarm and the loops at the back of the rearframe to support the seat cowl for push starting. Brian, are the bikes built...

Brian, I did not know Mcintosh still makes Egli frames. I would love to see some photos For me one would be enough... Patrik

Looking good Brian! Nice feeling to roll it out An Egli! Me too Do you already have a frame? Patrik

Standard bore 84 mm and stroke 90 mm so 1000cc (or 998 to be exact).

This is after arriving back home Monday June 11th. That's a 2000 kilometers or 1250 miles trip including the rally run in Germany. Very exhausting but fun drive. As you possibly can see that the bike is very oily all over. Lost one inspection cap 20 minutes from home. The one above the exhaust...

Friday June 8th on my way to the Scandinavian Vincent Club Rally this year hosted by VOC German North West Section. I job colleague just happened to over take me about one hour after a started my 13,5 hour ride from Stockholm down to Travemünde in north Germany. He took this picture.

Starting up the Thing again this late afternoon. https://youtu.be/nbQHKxCfsLE

Now it is approved for road traffic again :D I’m very exhausted. It did not start until 23:17 (11:17 pm) last night! The test was 10:00 this morning. Did the last tweaks 9:44. Patrik

A hell a lot of time spent the last 6 weeks to try get it back on the road. Tomorrow it must start. Otherwise no Rally this year either. Patrik

Good progress after an intense weekend. Patrik

Soon time to attach front forks and swing arm (rear frame member - RFM).

Visually not a very big difference but a whole weekend spent. Now the gear change mechanism is working and kick starter fitted. Carb adaptors fitted. Timing gear re-checked and done. Timing cover now fits (I believe). Ripped the gasket though. New push rods fitted. Time to assemble the oil...

Much more progress now when I don't only have to repair/modify/fix things. More fun as well. Patrik

>:( Forgot to put the pushrod tubes on. Of the heads go, again ------------------ Done ! Nice and clean in the garage?
