[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 32228, member: 456"] Not just the compression ratio but also larger carbs and assembly with specially chosen parts, which were nearer to the design specs than some of the parts manufactured. I started riding Vins in 1957, only a couple of years after Vincents ceased production. Within a few years I was tuning my own bike and those of a few friends. This gave me the opportunity to inspect more parts than some other people and cams, as one example, were a mess of malformed rubbish which would mean searching through a box of them at dealers before I could find examples without flats on them. I suspect that some of the improvement was due to this selection of parts. [/QUOTE]
