[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 150091, member: 597"] Hi there Bill the liner is the same height but it is much wider.......More suface area, to seal better........I don't support this theory. I did lap the liner into the head recess before the liner was installed into the muff.........Neal Videan supplies some of these parts, I could ask him for you if he has anything........I have a new spare liner in case my one suffers any issues. Racing is great fun.........asside the cost and time........Pushing a bike and yourself to limits far beyond what you would ever do on the road is something else, especially when you have some close competition..........The twin in my picture left was simply great, you could hug someones back wheel diving into a corner, then out turn them driving out.........This ability to corner so well is something my newer Norvin single does not do as well........despite jacking the rear of the bike, and i could lower the front just dropping the yolks through the staunchions. It is all experimental, and you risk making the bike unstable........If I can't get a good result, I may just pull it down and re build the bike back up as a true Vincent........ Some of those straights on that track look like you could just keep accelerating if you had the power and gearing......... Not something many old bikes have. [/QUOTE]
