[QUOTE="Tom Gaynor, post: 17793, member: 4034"] Both Forty Years On and Another Ten Years have articles about decompressors as an alternative to the Vincent valve lifter mechanism. I believe Royal Enfield were the ones most popular. Has anyone any recent experience of such devices? Were they fitted to the second plug 'ole some heads were given? What is involved in fitting one? Do they work? The main driver for this is that my handlebars look like the aftermath of an explosion in a spaghetti factory, with twin choke cables, twin brake cables to the 2LS brakes, twin throttle cables, and clutch and valve lifter. Some of these function so well that I won't change. But a 2-into-1 choke, and removal of the valve lifter gubbins would help. Might clear that leak from somewhere around my new, improved, ET168 too.
