[QUOTE="peterg, post: 29841, member: 446"] Howdy Chaps, As someone who's glossy-fied a Vin before but now even more appreciative of petena as an increasingly petenaed specimen myself, couldn't agree more, this machine needs to stay with only a very few carefully chosen aesthetic changes to make it consistent. But, not knowing if it was rev'd to 10 grand during one of those 2 shunts or tracking out of line due to peripheral components to that UFM subtly damaged, it does deserve to be carefully disassembled and mechanical integrity restored. Not in a position to purchase a high profile machine in an equally high profile setting but fortunate to locate a machine with similar mileage, though way farther down the aesthetic food chain, decided to create my own [url=http://petergz.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/HRD-Vincent/1950-Vincent-Black-Shadow/19661886_rtkGLC#!i=1542069561&k=pLWhPHk][u]dusty trail horse[/u][/url] here 3 years ago. Absolutely no regrets, think it looks much like the well used mounts I stared at for such a long time in the VOC's Photo Miscellany before managing to acquire one. Like old road worn Knuckleheads and Chiefs, Shadows seem to have a lot more soul when they aren't so shiny. [/QUOTE]
