[QUOTE="mercurycrest, post: 93028, member: 64"] I was sorry to see it was bought to be flipped after the story I was given. The engine/gearbox is in excellent condition (1-1/2” Alpha) with a never used Terry Prince top end with 12-1 pistons. The clutch needs attention. I never used it with front brakes. The Vincent heads were flowed by Dan Baisley in Portland, Oregon. It ran just over 150 at PIR, 135 at Bonneville, but trying to feed kids and a race bike at the same time doesn’t work. Lots of good parts there, the carbs need lots of work, I kept the GP’s. And magneto. Never got a record, as there was no Vintage class at the time and my competition was Yoshimira Kawasaki! Low ball your bid and you won’t get hurt. Cheers, John [/QUOTE]
