[QUOTE="Big Sid, post: 39054, member: 2781"] Sid here . Uncrated mine myself , was first to start it on the spot . Ran nicely , smooth and strong . However it's known that there were variations in lack of unpleasant vibrations among Vincents , some shook more than others . A convienant way to read runout is to slide the flywheel assembly back into its drive side main bearings , it will revolve very smoothly with good mains in its " home " so to speak . Mount a thou dial gauge rigidly so that a reading can be taken up close to the right side wheel and revolve the crank assembly . This will give a very close indication of how true the assembly is . And the vibration to be one might well expect . We got Gunga Din down to no more than a half thou total . Difficult job though . [/QUOTE]
