[QUOTE="BigEd, post: 48670, member: 161"] Dear Martin, Not specific to Vincent but related to the reliability of Lucas A/R units. I had a Norton Commando in the early 1970's and after not too many miles the A/R unit developed quite a bit of play requiring some weld to tighten things up. A mechanic friend who at that time serviced Commandos used by the local police force said that it was quite common for the A/R to require attention. This would have been the standard fitment Lucas unit. Maybe a few more rpm may have been used on the Norton machines compared to the average Vincent and at this time Norton certainly had build quality issues on several items. I can't comment on the units manufactured by the late Roy Price but assume they were of a generally similar design to the Lucas unit. [/QUOTE]
