[QUOTE="riptragle1953, post: 45506, member: 2328"] Basically this thread is a sales pitch. I am uncomfortable doing so because I do not like to promote myself or anything I build or have built. I am selling my Egli known as "Big Sid". It has been under wraps in dry storage for 9 years. Due to my disabled condition I could no longer start the machine let alone just hold it up or roll it around. So I had to admit to myself finally that there is no point in keeping it when someone else could be using it for what it was built for. The genuine Egli frame kit I bought from Gene Aucott back in '79. The engine I used was a brand new Harpers.... all new parts within. Over the years it has gone through many modifications when I would come up with a new idea to make a Vin work better. It is a very special machine indeed built with a list of my own special parts too long to list. A custom primary with a Lucas alternator being just one. No current pictures of the machine are available as I have to get it out of a fully packed garage to do so.... and there would be no point in a present photo as the machine needs cleaning up. Besides, a picture tells you nothing other than a bike is pretty on the outside.... the real beauty of mine is inside those cases. I am getting it out this week.... the tyres need replacing and I have a new battery on order to fire those dual-plug heads. I am having a Delorto specialist rebuild the pumpers - twin front heads on lightning manifolds. I can say in honesty that there is nothing as fine and a new owner will have bought him or herself a jewel. So at this moment my words rest upon my reputation as I have never advertised..... my customers did that for me as once a Vincent owner rode a machine I built for someone it wasn't very long before his machine was in my shop. This naturally will be an expensive machine.... I have yet not decided on a fair price. The pictures I provide are the only ones I have before I put it away..... but, with an easy clean, the machine now would look the same. Interested?
