[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 137882, member: 597"] Norman, I could definitely sell a few more.........It is like trying to eat a giant bowl of spaghetti.........You think you are done and then the interest is still lingering on...........I can not help but feel that there must be a lot of people out there who have simply put the kit on the shelf for a rainy day.........i seriously don't feel the average Vincent owner really knows what the benefits are, its not shiny enough, or gives you more acceleration.........its that grey area we talked about regarding suspension years ago. It must be said, and I have seen it happening over recent times........A lot of what has been available is coming to an end........A lot of very good products that many Vincent owners have had are either now or soon will not be available any more........ The first sensible mod i ever did to my Rapide was to install a descent modern type side stand to the left side pillion plate..........The second was to upgrade the steering geometry, after my first one on the racer back in 2013......... You still hear of the odd owner who suffers a tank slapper on these bikes........And yet the number of bikes upgraded with such a good mod is very low......... I guess they'll never know. [/QUOTE]
