[QUOTE="andrew peters, post: 175047, member: 3776"] Thank you for the credit, or part credit for the O ring mod but I have to give all the credit to Norman here for this tip and honestly a lot of tips over the years to improve our Vincents. I have the advantage over some owners in that I have access to very skilled machinists and welders etc. Actually, the tip is in one of the Vincent books, (and MPH a few years back) "Into the Millenium" indexed under 'clutches' I have to tell you all I am not a long term Vincent owner, in fact, less than 10 years.. However, what I decided to do when I started my ownership journey I accumulated books and Knowledge! Mostly from Vincent owners/riders and engineers cleverer than me. This I would advise to most people, several decades of experience are out there, and thanks a lot to this forum (big thanks to He/Him that cannot be named, I believe I have his pronouns correct Haha) for answering many questions, some stupid maybe but not to the poster (?) Since I've owned my Rapide I've successfully put on quite a few miles and found the bike to be usable and reliable, able to keep up with modern traffic and capable of stopping and being seen by other road users, thanks to disc brakes, LED lighting and signals. I've been less concerned with originality than usability, there are enough stock bikes in collections and museums! Don't be afraid to ask the 'elders' or read through the books and postings.. Most important.. Ride your Vincent! [/QUOTE]
