[QUOTE="Albervin, post: 53546, member: 586"] Dean. Consider fitting a regulator that can be switched to 12V. A good Miller generator can be used in conjunction with a 12V regulator and 12V battery to give better lighting. Depending on which state you live in there are several people who can sort the electrics and others who do excellent paint. However, consider leaving the paint as is if it is not too bad; there are too many shiny black bikes and not enough "well worn" ones around. Mine are all somewhere in between. You need at least 5 books to play with a Vincent; Know Thy Beast, Richardson, Spare parts list, Instruction sheets and Forty Years on. Be aware there are errors and omissions in all of them. The new Alternative Spares list is supposed to be excellent but also has errors and omissions. Most threads that join steel to steel are BSF and most threads in alloy are BSW but there are exceptions. There are also BA threads and a rogue metric thread. [/QUOTE]
