[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 45880, member: 2708"] Hi Bruce Yes, I just gave Venhills drawings of the clutch, brak and throttle cables. They made a nice job of them all, including the little steel elbows at the carb tops. The front brake cable really improved braking, which was already quite good. Greg, you are correct, a multiplate clutch can run just fine on a Vincent. I have a Veetwo that works great and I know of a V3 that has done a lot of miles without problems. With the Veetwo, I had to chuck the original bronze friction plates in favour of Barnett Kevlar which I run in a small amount (50cc) of type F ATF. The clutch is nice and light and works great for starting off fully laden, two up&luggage. It also is good for multiple starts when heavily laden in city traffic, even in hot weather. I have noticed that some of the stock clutches do not like this type of abuse and the bikes turn into direct drive models, not fun to deal with ! Glen [/QUOTE]
