[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 103259, member: 2708"] What I would love to see is a Vincent with a dry back tire after a 300 mile ride on a hot day. They all seem to put a little oil on the tire. My 1360 is promising, but I haven't done a 300 mile summer day with it yet. On a long group ride some years ago a friend who was new to Vincents commented on this. " Every bike here has some oil on the back tire " was his comment. There were about ten twins plus a Comet present. I had a good look around and he was correct. Maybe a catch bottle is the only way to eliminate this. A better breather will only add a bit more mist to the rear tire problem. Glen [/QUOTE]
