[QUOTE="Seeker0131, post: 34839, member: 2755"] [SIZE=5][FONT=garamond] To some, this might sound like a silly idea, but I want to build my own Shadow with a couple of non stock items. Seeing as I will never have the cash to buy one outright, I figured that I could build mine over a length of time. I figure that money really isn't an object when it comes to a long-term project.[/FONT] [FONT=garamond] Knowing that it won't have a bill of authenticity (though it would be nice), has anyone ever done this in the past? I know that Coventry built one with all of the spares that it produces in 2007. I am curious if Coventry, or any of the Vincent Owner's, would be bothered if I built my own?[/FONT] [FONT=garamond] I am trained motorcycle technician, and have worked on a wide variety of motorcycles (not to mention some odd automobiles ((an Allard J2 rebuild being the last)). [/FONT] [FONT=garamond] It's funny that when I went to school to be certified to work on Harley-Davidson motorcycles, many of class mates didn't know what I was talking about.

I find that the difference between knowledge and wisdom is; knowledge is knowing that a Tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing not to put one in a fruit salad!!! [/FONT][/SIZE]:rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
