That was back in the late 80s or early 90s?The damaged rear head from the beginning is now repaired with Valve guides from Ernst Hegeler .The work was done by Traupel Motortechnik in Germany. Erik

Well done Erik, you've done a brilliant job there.One more Vincent on the road again !
Well why not get someon to mill a slot in the RFM , I didThis bike was put together from parts and the fork is from a Horex and the frontwheel is a Münch Mammut one.Unluckily the hub is cracked and is made from magnesium which can not be weldet I think.The UFM is the early type with no slot for the rear damper.
A slot would have been an early modification for older models. I guess that most people would have used a hacksaw and file in situ rather than strip the bike to get the UFM in a milling machine.I milled a Slot in the ufm to fit a hydraulic damper. E
