[QUOTE="Hugo Myatt, post: 94859, member: 99"] Bill, as long as you only take circular rides you'll be all right. On a practical note it pays to renew the rubber connections regularly as they eventually crack and then leak air. Also, as KTB recommends, use wider Jubilee clips than those supplied. I think mine are 12mm. Mk11s were intended to be additionally supported to some part of the bikes anatomy using the two threaded holes at the top of the carbs. This isn't really possible on the Vincent due to a lack of suitable fixing points, which means they waggle about more than on most conventional machines. I think it is this that leads to the degrading of the rubber connectors. [/QUOTE]
