[QUOTE="Tom Gaynor, post: 18651, member: 4034"] Mine is a Shadow, has 289's anyway. But I agree with you. And I too have a Roy Price ATD, persuaded by finding FIVE wrecked Vincent ATD's in my "spares box" - along with five alloy idlers each with a tooth missing - that Eddie Stevens got it right in KTB. Lucas ATD's are all right new, but once worn and rusted, best used as fishing weights. (OK, he didn't actually suggest that, but it is implicit...) With sleeved carbs and the new ATD, the bike, c/w high first gear, is a delight to ride in traffic. It goes, it steers, it stops (PV brakes) and other drivers are stunned into paralysis by the sheer noise it makes. The roads seem empty as the numpties pull off convinced that WW III has started. My resleeved 289's are so good that I usually need to use the air levers when the bike has merely cooled, and always need to use them when it is cold. Which is most of the time. [/QUOTE]
