[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 116823, member: 597"] Thanks for the figures David, the numbers are quite amazing. My racer runs a 6 speed TTI box which is just the best......I can shift up through the gears as fast as I like with no issues at all, it is entirely predictable. I have sold the original engine and ancillary parts to a fellow Vincent man and racer, he is also interested in the gearbox which I would replace with a 5 speed in magnesium for the small extra cost. As Roy said, Bruce and the team at TTI in Nelson New Zealand are very helpful. The gearboxes are very strong, they run their own specific output sprockets which are not interchangeable with the AMC style boxes, I think the spline is larger. My frame comes back from the paint shop hopefully this coming week, then the reassembly will begin, this is a genuine Slimline frame with a later swing arm. I use longer back shocks and use a 30 mm spacer under the top yolk, with a longer steering stem to change the steering angle. This helps the bike to "Turn in" on corners much better. [/QUOTE]
