[QUOTE="Deleted member 1085, post: 40341"] You might also consider how much work you will do yourself. My experience has been it taken me much longer to do the jobs as it was often the first time I had worked on a Vincent twin. They are not difficult machines but experience is worth a great deal in time and minimising frustration. If you are relying on businesses to do the work, you will be reliant on their time and it usually will be more expensive than anticipated. The cost and time will depend on how "particular" you are and how "original" you want parts. The bike I purchased some years ago was known and believed to be OK. Whilst this was the case, I have still had issues with lose spindles, stripped crankcase threads, oiled up plugs etc............! "Caveat emptor". Oh, you could also do with a comprehensive workshop, a lathe and some good friends who are able to offer guidance and help. Just my thoughts. [/QUOTE]
