[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 63145, member: 60"] the longer G91/1 simply goes in backwards inside to outside thus improving the leverage ratio. As for the early Alton and steel sprocket I saw the heap of half rollers in my primary case after the 1999 IOM lap. I should have known better we always removed the dynamo sprocket when production racing in fact this is a 'now it can be told tale' I and a well known VOC member (anon) when we were production racing hollowed out our dynamo bodies and put a small bulb in foam inside and ran a wire to ammeter and a horn button to near the twist grip. Then in scrutineering we would start the engine,and as we turned the throttle, surreptitiously press the horn button , the hidden bulb would light and the ammeter deflected to "charge":rolleyes:. Well all the other bikes we were racing against were at least 10 years younger than us and in fact later BMCRC introduced a production age limit of 10 years , I suppose the 'old' Vincents passing the latest 1965 machines down the Snetterton straight was becoming embarrassing:) [/QUOTE]
