[QUOTE="davidd, post: 118927, member: 1177"] Tim, It is always exciting to see a good racing Vincent. Congratulations! Although we all want better brakes I have to say that after attacking the brake performance thoroughly, I think that they what I came up with works quite well. What that means is that they are probably the best in class, which is a lot different than being twin discs, but there is nothing in the class that can out-perfom them. I have posted all of the improvements that I have done, so there are no secrets. The very fast vintage bike riders like Alex McLane and David Roper have never had a complaint about the brakes after they have ridden the bikes. With very strong brake shoes and no fade high friction linings I think the braking is about the best you can get with the stock style drums. It looks to me like you may whack that rear pipe on right handers. I don't have that much clearance on that side. I think Greg had that problems also. David [/QUOTE]
