[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 1516, member: 2708"] In my comment on oil leaks I stated that it is possible to build a dry Vincent today, but they are a rare item. A walk past the 192 Vins that went around the Isle of Man course last month amazed me as to how bad the leakage problems are. Nearly every bike showed oil leakage, quite a number with what I would call quite severe leakage. For me, severe leakage is when oil has found it's way onto the rear tire, as this is a pretty dangerous situation. I saw a number of Vincents with oily rear tires. So I'm not sure if it is my comment or someone else's you don't agree with as we seem to have both said the same thing, that a dry Vincent can be built today. The reality however is that most are far from dry , nor were they oil tight when they left the factory according to information from Vincent factory workers of the day. Which, if any, of these comments do you disagree with? [/QUOTE]
